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. The Vikings did not re-sign Sam Darnold or Daniel Jones in March, but according to former NFLer turned analyst Ross Tucker, Minnesota wanted one of those men back in 2025, foremost, and only pivoted to McCarthy when it struck out. It’s a bold take with training camp about eight weeks away.

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.

Go ahead and ask Kevin O’Connell about his plan for who starts at quarterback. The head coach will then do a bit of verbal tap-dancing. Sure, J.J. McCarthy is the clear-cut favorite to jump into the starting spot, but O’Connell prefers to maintain a bit of mystery within the non-existent enigma that is the QB1 spot. For his part, McCarthy is playing along, previously pointing toward his desire to fully earn the starter’s crown.

The Falcons benched him last season in favor of rookie passer Michael Penix Jr., and they’re not turning back.
