The world is still searching for the right person to blame for the Vikings' fumbling of the quarterback situation last year. Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones left as free agents, and they allegedly passed on Aaron Rodgers in favor of J.J. McCarthy.
The widespread belief in the days since Minnesota signed former No. 1 overall pick Kyler Murray to a one-year deal has been that the former Cardinals quarterback is coming in to take over as the starter for the Vikings. Not so fast, says Adam Schefter.
Jeremiah would like to see the Vikings trade up with the Commanders for the No. 7 pick, where they would, in his hypothetical situation, draft Love and pair him with quarterback Kyler Murray and wide receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.
With DePaola returning, Minnesota keeps two-thirds of its special teams core, with kicker Will Reichard still under contract after his phenomenal 2025 season.
As teams like the Cardinals, Chiefs, and Saints address running back in free agency, there might be fewer teams to take Jeremiyah Love before the Vikings in the draft.
According to multiple reports, Kyler Murray's most likely destination after being released by the Arizona Cardinals is Minnesota. However, the Colts might also be intriguing to the former No. 1 overall pick.
