Vikings Fans Unhappy with Kevin O'Connell Snub

1 day ago | vikingsterritory.com | Dustin Baker

Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell may be a Top 10 skipper in your heart, but he has not earned such recognition from the national masses, at least not yet. Kevin O’Connell was not a part of a new ranking list, and Vikings loyalists reacted adversely. Here’s who took O’Connell’s spot. Pro Football Focus released its list of Top 10 NFL coaches entering the 2025 campaign, and O’Connell was nowhere to be found โ not even an honorable mention.

NFL training camps are one month away, and the Cleveland Browns took care of a little roster business on Thursday. The Browns dropped Ogbo Okoronkwo, a pass rusher with ties to Kevin O’Connell from the Rams days. The Vikings may not need an outside linebacker, but here’s an examination of the fit nevertheless. Browns general manager Andrew Berry cut pass rusher Ogbo Okoronkwo loose this week, enabling the veteran defender to sign anywhere in the NFL.

Minnesota Vikings training camp is precisely one month away, and the club will begin putting the trimmings on a 53-man roster in Eagan. CBS Sports found a red flag for the Vikings heading into 2025, questioning a spot on the roster. It’s also on the minds of many national pundits. General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah used the offseason’s last several months to construct a roster worthy of Super Bowl contention, a welcome sight after Minnesota manufactured a one-and-done playoff showing in January.
Greasy Vikings Prediction Makes the Rounds

The Minnesota Vikings went against the grain in 2024, recording a 14-3 record in a season when Vegas believed the team would finish 6-11 or 7-10. A national website published a bold — and sort of greasy — Vikings prediction for 2025. The forecast runs counter to prevailing thought in the Twin Cities. Sam Darnold played the best ball of his career, and Brian Flores’ defense reached new heights.

Move over, Sam Darnold. Ex-Minnesota Vikings cornerback Shaquill Griffin is on his way. Former Vikings cornerback Shaquill Griffin has found a new team, taking his talents to the Seattle Seahawks for 2025.

Pro Football Focus is already peeking ahead at the 2026 NFL Draft, when the Minnesota Vikings will possess a mostly full draft cabinet — unlike 2025 — plus two or three compensatory draft picks. Pro Football Focus found the Vikings’ top concern for the long haul. Here’s what that site said and why it’s a fair point. Outwardly, the Vikings don’t have oodles of long-term roster needs, but per PFF, one spot will need some love next April. And that’s at safety.

Remember the Aaron Rodgers saga for the Minnesota Vikings in March and April? A will-they-or-won’t-they regarding his free agency? Aaron Rodgers said this week he’ll play just one more NFL season. And the big, popular Vikings theory would’ve lasted that long. A year. Had the Vikings taken the plunge with Rodgers, the arrangement would’ve lasted one season. Thanks to Rodgers personally, folks learned his plan for 2025 and beyond.
This Possible Cut from Tampa Bay Could Help the Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings’ roster currently looks pretty spiffy after a successful free agency and NFL draft that notably welcomed offensive guard Donovan Jackson from Ohio State. Bleacher Report named a Buccaneers cornerback, Jamel Dean, as a cut candidate for 2025. If he’s dropped, the Vikings could be a smart landing spot for all parties. Some believe, however, that Minnesota should sign or trade for one more cornerback to absolutely guarantee that the club has no roster weaknesses.
