Vikings Training Camp Notes: 8/7 Edition
The rain stopped and later the sun came out for the Minnesota Vikings training camp practice today, which was in full pads. It wasn’t nearly as intense as the padded practice on Wednesday, nor was it really as eventful, but nevertheless some tid bits here and there can be gleaned from the performance. So, with […]
Minnesota Vikings News and Links: How Can We Judge The QB Competition?
Do we want to talk about the QB competition? It ain’t going away that is for sure. I will leave the judging to others. I have no idea what KOC is looking for and if “counting stats” is going to win the day. There are daily reports from various sources where folks are trying to […]
Vikings Day 7: Surprises, Standouts, and a QB Race Nearly Run
The Minnesota Vikings completed Day 7 of training camp — their second day in pads at TCO Performance Center — and the quarterback battle between Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy is beginning to look less like a competition and more like a coronation. On the latest episode of The Real Forno Show, host Tyler Forness, […]
Vikings Training Camp Notes: 8/5 Edition
The Minnesota Vikings had the most physical practice of training camp today, in full pads, and this one seemed to take on more importance than others as kind of the final test of the first week of training camp. Tomorrow is an off-day- no practice- but I wouldn’t be surprised if the coaching staff was […]
Wonder About the Over/Under
The crew at the Daily Norseman is doing its usual stellar job covering the opening days of training camp, including an increasingly intriguing quarterback competition. The same goes for the news that the Vikings brought in safety Jamal Adams and extended offensive tackle Brian O’Neill. We’re so back. This allows me to vent a little. […]
Vikings Training Camp Notes: 8/4 Edition
The Vikings held another training camp practice today, this one in shells. Overall it was a lighter practice- tomorrow’s practice is to be a longer, padded practice, so not as many things to report from this practice, but certainly some tidbids here and there. On the Quarterback Competition Other Notes Today’s Press Conferences That’s all […]

Jordan Addison Just Got Even More Expensive (Again)
One of the questions that the Minnesota Vikings are going to have to come up with an answer for relatively soon is what to do with wide receiver Jordan Addison. They’ve already picked up the fifth-year option on his rookie contract, which would appear to be the precursor to a long-term extension with the purple, […]
Vikings Training Camp Day 5: Defense Wins, Murray Leads QB Battle
The Minnesota Vikings held their first padded training camp practice at TCO Performance Center, and The Real Forno Show‘s Tyler Forness was there live to break it all down. The headline: the defense dominated, Kyler Murray is outpacing J.J. McCarthy in the quarterback competition, and a fifth-round rookie cornerback may be stealing the show. Here’s […]
Vikings Training Camp Notes: 8/3 Edition
Since my last training camp notes, there have been three practices- the rained out practice on Friday that was moved indoors and turned into a walk-through practice, so nothing significant to report on that one. Saturday’s practice was significant in the quarterback competition and also positive when it comes to contributions from this year’s draft […]

Minnesota Vikings News and Links: Paralyis by Analysis
As the world turns eh? There is no escape from the incessant analyses over every rep and practice for the top two QBs on the team. Once KOC makes a decision there will be some complaining for sure but probably more so from the fans that wanted to see if JJ could be the long […]

Is this going to be the year that it finally happens? Well, our friends at the FanDuel Sportsbook aren’t super optimistic about that, as they currently have the […]
Vikings Training Camp Notes: 7/30 Edition
The Minnesota Vikings had their first training camp practice open to the public today, which brought more visibility to the proceedings, at least for the day, from fans posting videos that media aren’t allowed to do (and fans aren’t supposed to do either). But it looks like the Vikings are enforcing the no video rule […]
Minnesota Vikings News and Links: The Inevitable QB Competition Dominates The Feeds
Training camp is underway and the “reports” and speculation is off to the races. There will be no stopping the incessant commentary on the QB situation because, well, it does create interest (i.e., clicks). It is a tough situation for O’Connell, McCarthy, and Murray to be in really. KOC is trying to toe a fine […]
Start of Training Camp Rundown
The Minnesota Vikings start training camp this week and there are a bunch of news items that have coincided with that this week worth addressing.

Jamal Adams Acquisition The Vikings acquired […]

Vikings, Brian O’Neill Agree to Four-Year Contract Extension
Today is the day that the Minnesota Vikings report for training camp in Eagan, and one of the team’s stalwarts has an extra bit of business to attend to before things really get underway. The Vikings and right tackle Brian O’Neill have agreed to a new four-year, $96 million contract extension that will keep O’Neill […]
Vikings Choose Date for Adrian Peterson’s Ring of Honor Induction
Back in May, we learned that running back Adrian Peterson would be the newest inductee into the Minnesota Vikings’ Ring of Honor during the 2026 NFL season. Now, we know exactly when that enshrinement will take place. The team has announced that Peterson’s Ring of Honor induction ceremony will take place at halftime of the […]

How the Vikings’ Offensive Scheme May Evolve This Season
As the Minnesota Vikings get ready for the start of training camp, one thing the Vikings’ offensive coaching staff is likely preparing for is continuing the installation of the offense. That carries added importance this season if the Vikings have a new starting quarterback, particularly in the passing game, but the run game is also […]
Vikings Signing LB/S Jamal Adams
On the eve of training camp officially getting underway in Eagan, the Minnesota Vikings have made a signing that can best be labeled as. . .interesting. The Minnesota Vikings are signing longtime safety/linebacker Jamal Adams. The source for this is longtime safety/linebacker Jamal Adams. Adams comes with a significant pedigree, as he garnered First-Team All-Pro […]
