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) A New Trade Partner for Kirk Cousins Just Entered the Chat: Like Mr. Frey, I think there’s next to no chance that Kirk Cousins gets shipped to San Francisco. Alas, stranger things have happened. My money, for whatever it’s worth, remains on the extension possibility.

2) Broncos Donate Massive Trade Package for Vikings Rival: Vikings fans still love to hate Sean Payton. Someday, this fanbase may move on, but it hasn’t happened yet. Will the veteran coach have what it takes to resurrect the Broncos?

3) The Vikings Must be Waiting on The Cardinals: Perhaps. Nevertheless, I find it hard to speculate too much. At the end of the day, I can’t see into Kevin O’Connell’s and Kwesi Adofo-Mensah’s minds. There are a thousand potential reasons why the process is moving slowly.

4) ‘Samaje Perine Season’ Begins for Minnesota: Minnesota’s run game wasn’t good enough last season. While much of the focus has been on the WR2 spot, I’m more interested in seeing greater balance between the run and the pass.

5) Former Vikings Coach Joins Falcons: It’s the season for coach shuffling. In all likelihood, the Falcons won’t be going anywhere in 2023. That being said, they’re working up to being a contender once again in the NFC. Perhaps the new coach will help with the process.

Enjoy the extra reading, Minnesota Vikings fans. Skol.
