PurplePTSD works in partnership with Vikings Territory, similarly doing their utmost to offer top-notch coverage of the Minnesota Vikings. As a result, we’re promoting five of their top articles of the past week in “The P/PTSD Perspective.” Take a peek at some of their best stuff.

The P/PTSD Perspective: August 24th, 2024

1) Unlucky Former Vikings Draft Choice Signs with the Jets: At first, there was a lot of optimism about what Jaylen Twyman could do. The Aaron Donald comparisons made sense but were far too ambitious. Even still, Twyman looked like he could be a penetrating 3T for the Vikings, which is exactly what the team still needs.

2) Vikings Announce 4 Roster Moves on Monday: Even at this stage in the offseason, Minnesota is working through the roster in an effort to keep evaluating, learning, and building. Kwesi Adofo-Mensah one time referred to team building as eternal and his actions back up that sentiment.

3) 5 Vikings Preseason Hot Takes: Lewis Cine’s Rise, An Undrafted Rookie Starting: The emergence of Lewis Cine is wonderful news. One still wonders, though, if there will be a spot on the roster of it he gets moved in a trade. We’ll find out very soon since cuts are upcoming.

4) Vikings Encouraged to Put 1 Guy on the Trade Block: No doubt, his name has been mentioned before in the trade chatter. Mr. Cine did some promising things in his second preseason tilt but his NFL career has been a disappointment so far. Does a team send over a pick for the safety?

5) Undrafted Vikings Rookie Unceremoniously Climbs Depth Chart: Not too much attention has gone toward the ascent, but Dwight McGlothern has climbed the depth chart. To be sure, his play has justified the leap up, so Minnesota will be hoping for more positive reps from the young corner.
