The Vikings will retain a valued member of their front office. According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, George Paton, the Vikings’ assistant general manager, has taken himself out of consideration for the general manager vacancy with the Browns.

There’s been quite a few changes on the coaching staff since the Vikings’ season ended on Saturday. Kevin Stefanski is now the head coach of the Browns, George Edwards did not have his contract renewed and Jerry Gray has parted ways with the team. All three of them could reportedly join Stefanski in Cleveland along with receivers coach Drew Petzing.

I’ll admit it. For a long time I thought Anthony Barr sucked. To be honest I never put much thought into it. I just figured he was playing out of position or he wound up not being the player the team thought he was after being drafted. I mean, it always seemed like he was in the right position to make a big play, but he rarely would. ‘He’s a former first-round pick for [Pete’s] sake,’ I’d growl to my buddies. And his multiple Pro Bowl appearances? Flukes, I thought. It’s the Pro Bowl. I’d rather do my laundry than watch the Pro Bowl. Then, early in the season it struck me — I couldn’t really explain why I felt this way. Why exactly did Barr suck?It was this question that ultimately led to hours of researching his role and subsequently, his play. What I discovered surprised me…

At this rate, the Minnesota Vikings are on the verge of having a Super Bowl caliber roster and actually keeping it together for years under the salary cap — that’s simply amazing.
