    The Minnesota Vikings employ notable safeties Harrison Smith, Josh Metellus, and recently promoted Theo Jackson. On paper, the team doesn’t need much more safety help, but according to SI.com, the club could possibly sign four-time All-Pro defensive back Justin Simmons, who is unsigned as of early June. Minnesota has about $19 million in cap space at the moment. SI.com‘s Gilbert Manzano analyzed the best landing spots for the NFL’s top free agents last week, and for Simmons, Minnesota got the call.

    There’s a new Minnesota Vikings-themed theory about the recent offseason: quarterback J.J. McCarthy was the Plan B in 2025.

It’s a bold take with training camp about eight weeks away.

    Minnesota Vikings fans have used the last month to debate whether the team needs one more starting cornerback.

    In the summer of 2022, Minnesota Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah acquired quarterback Nick Mullens, wide receiver Jalen Reagor, and defensive tackle Ross Blacklock via trade. The following summer, Adofo-Mensah traded offensive tackle Vederian Lowe to the New England Patriots for a late-round draft pick. And last August, the Vikings sent cornerback Andrew Booth to the Dallas Cowboys for Nahshon Wright, who plays the same position.

    No, the Minnesota Vikings don’t have an utterly urgent roster need at tight end. Yes, they should still pick up the phone and inquire about the asking price for tight end Kyle Pitts via trade. Pitts, an Atlanta Falcon for the last four seasons, is apparently on the trade block, and general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah should sniff around.

The Timberwolves become the first professional men's sports team in Minnesota to reach back-to-back Conference Championships since the Vikings in 1976 and 1977.
