The P/PTSD Perspective: Retirement Player Back, Kyler Murray Trade, and QB Crossroads
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 month in “The P/PTSD Perspective.” Take a peek at some of their best stuff.
The P/PTSD Perspective: February 21st, 2026
1) Vikings Likely to Get a Deal Done with Retirement Candidate: Way back in training camp, I had the good fortune of chatting with All Pro LS Andrew DePaola. At the time, DePaola indicated that he wanted to play beyond 2025 even though he was venturing into the final year on his contract. He looks like someone who is going to remain.
2) Kyler Murray’s Trade Price Comes to Light: Sending out an ambitious draft pick(s) makes very little sense. Much more appealing would be a late-round selection. Even better would be scooping up Mr. Murray from free agency, keeping all of Minnesota’s picks in Minnesota.
3) The Seahawks and Sam Darnold are Cruising Toward a Crossroads: Seattle is staring down what some would call a champagne problem. Indeed, every team would love having a passer in the middle of his prime who demands more money since he just led his team to the Super Bowl.
4) 3-Time Ex-Viking Decides to Keep Riding with the Super Bowl Champs: RB Cam Akers is the gift who keeps on giving in the Twin Cities. By rolling with the Seahawks, Akers opens the door to get grafted onto Minnesota’s roster at some point in the 2026 season. Forget striking twice, can lightning strike four times?
5) Clue Drops on Vikings Target as FA Inches Closer: Minnesota would benefit from adding young, high-end talent at running back. The issue is that Kenneth Walker III isn’t going to lack for options. Quite possibly, Minnesota will roll with Aaron Jones, Jordan Mason, and then a young lad from the draft.
Enjoy the extra reading, Vikings fans.
