It won’t take a rocket scientist, a brain surgeon or Adam Schefter, to tell you that Percy Harvin is something special. He’s a one of a kind player, with a nose for the endzone. Harvin, whose contract is set to expire after the 2013-2014 season, will be one of the [...]

After drafting Jarius Wright with the 118th pick, the Minnesota Vikings have now drafted Greg Childs. Both Wright and Childs played at Arkansas, where Tyler Wilson was their quarterback. It was clear to many people that the Vikings were going to target at least one receiver in the fourth round—and they have done just that. [...]

In a surprising turn of events, the Minnesota Vikings decided to draft a fullback in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL Draft.  The move was head-turning to say the least, considering fullbacks rarely get taken this early and the team typically doesn’t place very much value on the position. [...]

The Minnesota Vikings agreed to terms with former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver and former second-rounder Jerome Simpson on Tuesday. After possessing easily one of the weakest groups of weapons in the aerial attack, the team has bolstered its unit this offseason mainly with the additions of tight end John Carlson [...]

On March 16, linebacker Kenny Onatolu signed a three-year contract with the Carolina Panthers. While not an every day, household name, Onatolu was to the Vikings what Corey Graham was for the Bears. That being a player, who has plenty of talent, but is not worthy of starting. Instead, these [...]

Like a handful of other teams in transition with plenty of cap room, the Minnesota Vikings surprisingly haven’t made many moves in 2012 NFL Free Agency.
