Purple PTSD works alongside Vikings Territory. Every so often, we highlight what’s going on over there so that Purple PTSD readers can get a sense of what VT has been discussing. Take a peak at three of their pieces from the early part of the week.
Article #1: Possible Potency of Kirk Cousins in a Kevin O’Connell Offense Picks Up Steam
Quotable Quote: “And while not all Vikings fans cherished the idea of more Cousins, onlookers have warmed up to the possible potency of Cousins inside a Kevin O’Connell offense. O’Connell was hired by Adofo-Mensah in February after the former quarterback offensively coordinated the Los Angeles Rams to a Super Bowl victory. O’Connell worked with Cousins in Washington five years ago, which figured to be one of the selling points for O’Connell as the Vikings new skipper.”
Article #2: The Vikings Still Have Cap Space Left. Here’s What They Can Do With It
Quotable Quote: “This is the less exciting option, at least for right now, but if the Minnesota Vikings are in fact done spending, they can roll over their remaining cap space to 2022. There will inevitably be more signings to replace injured players, so it’s very unlikely that they will be able roll over more than $5-6 million.”
Article #3: In Focus: Packers Still Team to Beat
Quotable Quote: “Green Bay will expect to win the division again for the fourth straight season, and the Packers are still the team to beat. The Vikings are the most likely challengers, but with a whole new regime in Minnesota, it may take time for that team to jell. Other than the loss of Adams, it’s very much a go again in Wisconsin. Aaron Rodgers and his men are fairly viewed as one of the main contenders in the NFC. If they do make it to the playoffs again, they simply have to find a way to win.”

While the Dolphins’ quarterback entered the league with a great resume, his results thus far have made him a disappointment.
