What would have been a cheap RDE option for the Vikings — lands in SEA.
Another one: The #Seahawks and Aldon Smith have agreed to terms on a one-year deal, sources tell me and @RapSheet.

Favre wants politics out of sports.
Brett Favre: "I can't tell you how many people, have said to me, 'I don't watch anymore, it's not about the game anymore,' and I tend to agree."

8.5 wins appear to be the expectation threshold.
Over/under 8.5 wins for the #Vikings in 2021? ? https://t.co/n55G60NH1D

This might disqualify a Griffen reunion but not totally.
Michael Pierce will wear No. 97 for the #Vikings next season
Seems like this should pretty much end any speculation of Everson Griffen returning to Minnesota this year pic.twitter.com/nfMFUU3xD7

Forbes dribbled the Vikings name into his trade musings.
Seahawks will trade out of 56. It’s their way in normal yrs, but even more important with only 3 picks currently in the 2021 Draft. Line up PERFECTLY with Vikings who have picks 78, 90, 119, 125, 134, 143, 157, 168, 199. And Minnesota picked 15 players in last yrs draft.

Hey! Another day — another Orlando Brown rumor.

No interest in Aldon from your favorite team.
Like this signing by Seattle. #Vikings will see Smith at @usbankstadium this year. #Vikings didn't show any interest in Smith, did pursue pass rushers early in free agency. https://t.co/FDPLyIs4Yi

No schedule for a while.
For the second straight year, the 2021 NFL schedule will be released after the draft, per source. Not that there was much of a question about it, but it’s now official. Draft, then schedule.

Nostalgia.
1976 Game vs Green Bay at the Met. For all of the Minnesota cold, there really were not that manyb non-postseason games played in the snow in Minnesota. @Fran_Tarkenton @ChuckForeman pic.twitter.com/PDxaKAHmHd

No-to-Phillips, says one man.
With so much unknown around pick 14 for the #Vikings ….. I would be fine with pretty much anyone being talked about. Except. Jaelan Phillips. He might be damn good, but too risky for my taste.

A fantasy football head with this Dalvin tidbit.
This isn’t the Vikings fan in me talking but if Dalvin Cook isn’t in your top five projections at running back this season I do not understand you
