The Vikings made some good moves during the NFL Draft, but none were better than when they traded up from No. 23 to No. 17 in order to take EDGE Dallas Turner. The Vikings traded up to get Turner, but they still stole the draft's best edge player.

Big moments for seven young men
We mentioned it briefly a couple of days ago, but this morning the Minnesota Vikings released what is one of the annual highlights of Draft season for our viewing pleasure.
The team has put together their video of the Draft Room calls that they made to each of the seven young men that they selected in the 2024 NFL Draft. It’s always so great to see and hear these moments and it’s pretty great that the team puts them out...

Following the 2024 NFL Draft, we had been keeping our Undrafted Free Agency Tracker updated for a while but, unfortunately, I had to step away for a bit. However, the Vikings were kind enough to announce all 17 of the undrafted free agents that they have agreed to terms with while I was away.
So, without any further ado, here is the full list of undrafted free agents signed by the Minnesota Vikings following this...
The Minnesota Vikings have been working on a contract extension with Justin Jefferson for years and that’s not even an exaggeration. In all reality, there’s no legitimate reason why it hasn’t been completed yet, which is why Justin Jefferson trade rumors continue to sprout up at every turn.
Despite not being drafted, WVU offensive lineman Doug Nester will receive his chance to make an NFL roster. The Minnesota Vikings signed Nester as an undrafted free agent late Saturday night.
