The Minnesota Vikings are in a speculative phase as the NFL offseason continues. Evidence suggests that the team might consider trading for quarterback Mac Jones before the November deadline. Meanwhile, Kyler Murray is positioned as the frontrunner in the Vikings’ summer quarterback battle, with strong endorsements from teammates. Murray, signed for this season at $1.3 million, is backed by Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell's strategy of splitting reps among quarterbacks. Additionally, Jake Golday is noted for traits that may allow him to be used as an EDGE rusher. The Vikings’ minicamp has concluded, and training camp will begin in a month.
