All the Vikings News: March 29

The following is free-agency news applicable to the Minnesota Vikings on March 29, 2021 — via tweet.
High praise for Dantzler.
Dantzler did so well last season playing with very little pressure from the defensive line in addition to playing across from another rookie corner and inexperienced nickel corners.
I'm excited for him this season.

No #20 for Mack.

What number will he pick?

A Culpepper debate breaks out.
LOL…. Did You even look up Culpepper's stats after Moss got injured in 2004? After Moss got injured in the 1st half of the Saints game, Pep had a monster 2nd half w/o Moss. Check his stats for the Titans, Colts, Packers game too. All games w/o Moss. You're clueless.

Forness draft musings and Spielman doing Miami’s Pro Day.
Paye and Phillips are my top 2 edge rushers in this class. Would love to add them to the defense. This is a deep OL class and we can get one easily later on
— Tyler Forness (@TheRealForno) March 29, 2021
Reid — like most others — is extremely high on Pitts.
Been saying it for a while now and glad to see others are coming around to it. Kyle Pitts is the second best player and best non-QB prospect in this draft class.

Brown Jr. still being shopped, but Vikings inclusion might be dwindling.
#Ravens Orlando Brown Jr per report still getting actively shopped they have had the most interest from the #Bears and #Washington #NFL #nflrumors #RavensFlock pic.twitter.com/gY8P5nKiWY

Hughes is healthy. The Vikings will have an incredibly deep group of CBs.
It remains to be seen what possibly could happen with #Vikings CB Mike Hughes' roster status after signing of CB Mackensie Alexander. Regardless, I was told today Hughes is fully healthy. He's recovered after spending final 10 weeks of 2020 on injured reserve due to neck injury.

This is marvelous visual perspective.
Current state of the #Vikings roster from the PFF draft guide:
Still some big holes in the trenches, but if that can be patched between free agency and a deep draft class, this should look like one of the NFL's better and more complete rosters: pic.twitter.com/HYSKquTSbz

Another gut-punch for the anti-Zimmer crowd.
#Vikings CB Mackensie Alexander said "of course" he missed Mike Zimmer. "You want to be coached like that.''

Mr. House wants you to know this man.
#Vikings fans, keep an eye on Jamar Johnson. He has excellent instincts and playmaking ability. I think you could cross-train him between safety and nickel cornerback too. https://t.co/WCujFCV9Fp

On to Alabama again for Rick.
#Vikings general manager Rick Spielman went to Miami's pro day today and it sounds like tomorrow he'll most likely be going to Alabama's second of two pro days. That's how good the Crimson Tide are. They have two pro days.

No Super Bowl betting movement.
The #Vikings look to have made strides in free agency, but not according to oddsmakers. According to BetOnline, the Vikings had 50-1 odds to win the Super Bowl on Feb. 8. They're still at 50-1.

Mac Jones could enter the NFC North if he falls in the draft or if the Bears trade up.
Alabama quarterback Mac Jones has met with the Bears and called it "a great meeting."
"We just talked football for an hour straight. That's the best type of meeting for me. … Hopefully I'll get a chance to talk to them more and see where that relationship goes."

One big happy secondary family.
#Vikings new safety Xavier Woods: "These guys wanted me. The Vikings wanted me.'' He said he talked to Mike Zimmer. Said he wanted the chance to play alongside Harrison Smith and Patrick Peterson and learn from them.
