Vikings Territory works in partnership with PurplePTSD, similarly doing their utmost to put forth excellent Minnesota Vikings content. As a result, we occasionally promote what they have to offer in “The View from VT,” a weekly piece. Take a look of five of their articles from the past week.

1) Commanders Sign Former Vikings Tight End: At this stage in the offseason, teams regularly bring in talent to get their roster competition up to snuff. One of the overlooked parts of Dalvin Cook leaving is that Minnesota will have an open roster spot. Who will they sign?

2) Former Vikings TE Lands with Saints: Similar to above, this is about the offseason roster work. The Saints, at times, have come across as a rudderless ship to some evaluators. Bringing in Derek Carr at least gives them more stability at QB.

3) Vikings Top Addition Eloquently Throws Shade at Old Team: From what I can gather, playing for the Cardinals is … not great. Meanwhile, Minnesota seems like an excellent place to play. Byron Murphy is massively important in 2023.

4) 1 Receiver Has Been Unstoppable at OTAs: Don’t put too much into OTAs. The practices really do favor the offense. However, it’s good to see the young fella performing well. The WR4 job is his to lose.

Jalen Nailor Stock Continues to Rise

5) The Vikings Are Getting Really Creative at QB: Kirk Cousins isn’t going anywhere, at least for the upcoming season. From there, it’ll be the Nick Mullens & Jaren Hall experience. Fans do perk up, though, when a young QB gets brought in for a workout.

Enjoy the extra reading, Minnesota Vikings fans. Skol.
