Vikings have exercised the fifth-year option on left tackle Christian Darrisaw. No surprise there. More of a formality at this point.

This clip is a perfect encapsulation of the Timberwolves and why they’re so dangerous. An incredible defensive team with a superhuman freak leading the charge.

They aren’t just happy to be here. They could win the whole thing.

Correct.

J.J. McCarthy said Justin Jefferson reached out to him directly. He let him know that he goes by “Jets” so there won’t be any confusion.

Yep. He’s going to fit in just fine in Minnesota.
