Today is a day that things have changed
Speculation on the future of running back Dalvin Cook with the Minnesota Vikings has been running rampant since the end of the 2022 season, and today is the day that things might finally start to move.
Today is 1 June, which is a day that teams can finally start recognizing the cap space from their post-1 June cuts. That means that if a team wants to potentially trade for Cook, they could now absorb a significant...
It appears the writing is on the wall regarding Dalvin Cook’s future with the Minnesota Vikings.

Well ahead of schedule at that
It’s always a good idea to pay off your debts. It’s an even better idea to pay those debts off early. The Minnesota Vikings, apparently, subscribe to this philosophy, at least as it pertains to where they play their home games.
According to Front Office Sports, the Vikings and the state of Minnesota have completely paid off the construction costs of U.S. Bank Stadium, finishing the payments 23 years ahead of time and...

Some of the more notable tidbits since OTAs started
The Vikings are coming up on the half-way point of voluntary organized team activities, or OTAs, which began May 22nd and go intermittently through June 8th, with mandatory minicamp the following week on June 13-14. The remaining OTAs are on May 31st, June 2nd, June 5th-6th, and June 8th. Following mini-camp, the Vikings will not return again to TCO Performance Center until training camp begins at the end of July. Dates for training...
While several teams have already released high-priced veterans to gain some salary cap relief, other players could still be on the chopping block as June 1 rolls around.
Washington signed a pair of O-linemen in free agency and used its first two 2023 draft picks on corners, making the veterans expendable.
The Minnesota Vikings will be able to pay off debt on their publicly owned home stadium 23 years early, thanks to a new tax bill signed by Gov. Tim Walz.

ESPN: Vikings Should’ve Made ‘Bigger Commitment to Contending or Rebuilding’

It ranks as one of the weakest divisions in the NFL
Last season, the Minnesota Vikings. . .who, according to most of the Really Smart Football People™ were actually a bad team. . .won the NFC North by a comfortable four-game margin. The purple jumped out to a big lead in the division and weren’t seriously threatened. In 2023, the division should be a little more competitive, but there are a couple of sources that don’t think the division is going to be...
2022 marked a new era for the Vikings, since the team had a rookie head coach (Kevin O’Connell) and general manager (Kwesi Adofo-Mensah) in place. Several key players were holdovers from the previous regime, though, which led some to expect a clearing of house during the offseason.

The answer is “probably not”
One of the new rules that was adopted by the National Football League last week involves the potential to flex games to Thursday Night Football. While everyone except the people in the league offices pretty well thinks this rule is terrible, it’s here (at least for 2023), so it makes sense to see how it will affect our favorite team.
