Vikings WR Jordan Addison has a jury trial scheduled for June 16 in Superior Court of California, per online records, in connection to his July 2024 citation for DUI. He pleaded not guilty in December. A pre-trial conference hearing was held Monday.

Smart story here from @robdemovsky on a really obscure -- and unforgiving -- NFL/NFLPA program designed to give pay bumps to high-performing players on rookie contracts. https://t.co/eC2MVmGA23

The NFL paused a program it used to connect diverse job candidates with owners/execs, to be reimagined in 2026. "We're steadfast in our commitment to strengthen our talent pipeline and create an environment that reflects the diversity of our fan base." https://t.co/GMzbXXPa9K

Speaking to UK media today, Kevin O'Connell said the decision to play consecutive games in Europe was made by the NFL "in conjunction" with the team. In talking through the process, he noted the value of avoiding road games in Pittsburgh and Cleveland.

Vikings owner Mark Wilf says that the chance to play in London again, where the team has international marketing rights, "was something we could not pass up." They'll become the first team to play back-to-back int'l games in different countries. Full quote: https://t.co/GqD5D7cguk

RT @joereedy: So with the #Vikings playing the #Browns in London again, it might be 24 years before Minnesota plays a regular-season game i…

Tough on the team/organization. Not easy to recreate the between-games training infrastructure the Vikings, and all NFL clubs, have at their home facility.

@SeifertESPN 10ish days abroad will be tough. Is it the chartered private air travel? The 5 star hotels? The catered meals? Which part is "tough". These guys are ALL millionaires so if they want to bring their families, they will. Explain the tough thing...

The Vikings see a future with QB Max Brosmer, a UDFA from Minnesota who first caught Kevin O'Connell's eye during a 2024 Pro Day. A clear example of a player who benefitted from not being drafted. https://t.co/ndh1ASz2LZ

The Vikings will be the first NFL team to play consecutive international games in different countries this season. @espn story here: https://t.co/noh3wysjNV

CT making my point better than I did. Again, playing consecutive games in Europe (and presumably staying there in between) is daunting. But it is not without some material advantages.

With all due respect to the #Vikings, seems like quite the unfair advantage in the NFC North that they in 2025 will play eight home games, seven road games and two neutral-site games while the other three division teams will play eight home games and nine road games.

We'll have full analysis of the Vikings' 2025 schedule after it is announced tomorrow night. But on this international bit: It's daunting but not without some advantages. They won't play a true AFC North road game this season. Bengals/Ravens at home, Steelers/Browns neutral site.

The Vikings are indeed playing consecutive int'l games: 9/28 in Dublin (vs. Steelers) + 10/5 in London (vs. Browns). They avoid trips to Heinz Field, where they've never won, and to Cleveland (1 win since 1989). They're 4-0 in London. But 10ish days abroad will be tough.

There has to be a 1.8% chance of this

Truly grateful to have the support of @JonKrawczynski and @SeifertESPN, two writers I’ve looked up to for years and who I’m fortunate enough to call not only peers but friends. Check out more perspectives on “Olivia the Brave” here: https://t.co/8W5PjO3ztE https://t.co/f84XzlIanZ

Both participated in rookie mini-camp on a tryout basis.

The #Vikings have signed OLB Matt Harmon and DL Elijah Williams. https://t.co/v9fm1yiKWD

The NFL announced its kickoff game (Cowboys at Eagles) this morning and will continue the announcements this week. Vikings have 2 road opponents who have been designated as home teams for international games, Steelers (Dublin) and Browns (London). Both are possible.
