As we’re gearing up for […]

Even though he was not named to the Pro Bowl Games for reasons beyond the realm of my comprehension, Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard did garner some recognition that no member of the franchise has gotten in quite a while.

Coaches are getting let go quickly. Several of the candidates could be possible replacements for Brian Flores should he go elsewhere. Jonathan Gannon might be nice. Who do you like if Flores leaves?
