The Vikings did an excellent work in free agency this year. Upgrades of lines O, upgrades D-Line, The Hitman Return and an exceptional young RB to work with Aaron Jones, Sr. I predict that we will have two RB with 1,000 yards on the ground this year. As fans, we could not ask for more.
There are two QB UFAs available that no one is talking about and, just by coincidence, they are both of the same college. Carson Wentz and Trey Lance de Ndsu (Go Bison !!). They both have the winning stories of the national championship, and let’s not forget that Carson was one of the main reasons why the Eagles arrived at the Super Bowl a few years ago. I don’t think SF or Dallas are the right place for Trey Lance, and I think it would be great in the Vikings system with the QB Whisperer, coach O’Connell. I would love to hear your thoughts.
There is a lot to be excited so far with the way the Vikings have approached the melee line on both sides of the ball and lining up a legitimate list that includes Harrison Smith for his 14th birthdayth The NFL season, as well as Mason, which posted 100 yards against Minnesota in week 2 last season.
It could be difficult to have two rushers of 1,000 yards. Detroit in 2023 got closer to David Montgomery (1,015 out of 219 worn) and Jahmyr Gibbs (945 out of 182), but it is exciting to think of Punch 1-2 which could exist between Jones and Mason and how the differences in the other’s game could lead to a robust precipitated attack and to increase an effort that has totaled 16 touched on the ground since 2023.
As for the two QB mentioned by Jonathan, Wentz, 32, started 94 regular season games, including the 17 of the 2021 season (team up with Kelly & Fries in Indy) before joining Washington (2022), Rams de la Rams (2023) and Kansas City (2024) in the last three seasons. It is a cheat code that awaits occurring for the Immaculate Grid game of Pro–Pootball-reference.com.
I still remember the robust Lance reception, the former Marshall High School star received the 2022 Vikings training camp as a second year pro with the 49ers while San Francisco visited for joint practices. However, this did not work for Lance in San Fran. He ended up starting four games for the team that selected him with the overall choice n ° 3 of 2021 and left a start for Dallas in 2024. Lance will not be 25 years before May, so he could still be at the start of his development curve.
