The P/PTSD Perspective: QB2 on a Silver Platter, Old Friend Available, and New Trade Candidate
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: May 3rd, 2025
1) The Draft Served a Vikings’ QB2 Target Right on a Silver Platter: In the end, the deal actually came to fruition. The good news for Minnesota is that the cost was very cheap. Sam Howell will now be the main backup as the Vikings move forward with someone whom they believe can keep growing his game.
2) Vikings Can Now Re-Sign an Old Friend if They Still Want To: A touch ironic, perhaps, how things worked out for Jaren Hall. He got squeezed out of Minnesota due to the ample QB depth in the Twin Cities. By the time he got squeezed out of Seattle, the QB depth in the Twin Cities is again ample.
3) All of the Sudden, There’s a Vikings Trade Candidate: Personally, I don’t see it, but I’ve been wrong more than I care to admit. The curveball could be if the player himself requests to go elsewhere. In that scenario, then maybe Blake Brandel begins his career’s second chapter.
4) Mammoth Pass Rusher Joins the Vikings’ Roster Competition: The very top of the edge rusher competition is largely settled. Jonathan Greenard, Andrew Van Ginkel, and Dallas Turner are going to be leaned on to inspire fear in quarterbacks. After the top trio, the competition will be intense. Can the young guy with great size snag a spot on the 53-man roster?
5) Vikings Lay Claim to a Highly-Rated 2025 UDFA: A tale as old as time, folks. Or, at least, as old as when Kwesi Adofo-Mensah took over as the team’s top executive. With great regularity, Adofo-Mensah jumps into the UDFA competition before jumping out with some promising talent. Smart approach, if you ask me.
Enjoy the extra reading, Vikings fans.
