4 days ago | thevikingage.com | Adam Patrick

Life's a little quieter for Daunte Culpepper these days living down in Florida, far removed from his time as the starting quarterback of the Minnesota Vikings.

McCarthy. "He's very sharp, and I like that about him," Culpepper said in a recent conversation with The Viking Age.

For Minnesota Vikings fans, the 1998 NFL Draft is an event that will forever be remembered as one of the most important in the history of the franchise. That is, of course, because it resulted in the selection of Randy Moss, who went on to become one of the most iconic players to ever suit up for the Vikings. It's crazy to look back and realize that Moss wasn't even the first wide receiver picked in the 1998 NFL Draft. That honor went to Kevin Dyson at pick No. 16 to the Tennessee Titans.

For now, anyway, it's well-known that the Minnesota Vikings only have four picks in the 2025 NFL Draft. A trade down, or more likely, out of the first round from No. 24 overall, feels likely; the question will be if there's a team that feels compelled to move up.

When the Minnesota Vikings were in the thick of the rumors that involved them and Aaron Rodgers earlier this offseason, some wondered how much it might cost for the All-Pro quarterback to end up in purple and gold. During an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" on Thursday, Rodgers revealed the amount of money he would be willing to play for next season, and his answer might shock a few people. "It ain’t about the money. I never once said I need a multi-year deal. $30, $40 million is bulls**t.

1 week ago | thevikingage.com | Brad Berreman

Huge news in the NFL was revealed earlier this week when NFL Media reported the Miami Dolphins and cornerback Jalen Ramsey have "mutually agreed" to explore trade options. There should be some suitors for the seven-time Pro Bowler, it's a matter of it making sense financially as much as a team's need. Ramsey is entering his age-31 season, and he did not earn a Pro Bowl selection for the first time since his rookie season last year.

The Minnesota Vikings made a big move at cornerback this offseason by re-signing Byron Murphy to a big three-year deal, and the free agency addition of Isaiah Rodgers as the projected starter opposite Murphy apparently came at the beck and call of defensive coordinator Brian Flores. Behind Murphy and Rodgers, there are question marks on the cornerback depth chart. The Vikings took a flier on former No. 3 overall pick Jeff Okudah, who hasn't proven he can stay healthy.
