Still evaluating complicated QB situation — Vikings GM

Making the Case: If Keenum is 'Plan B', his availability hinges on his price tag

Making the Case: If Keenum is 'Plan B', his availability hinges on his price tag

The voluntary offseason program follows a progression, eventually allowing coaches to work with players on the fields and have organized team activity practices and a mandatory minicamp in June.

The Minnesota Vikings increasingly are viewed within the NFL as a top contender to sign quarterback Kirk Cousins when the league's free agent market opens later this month.

"I know there's a lot of rumors and a lot of different things going on out there, but don't believe everything you hear - unless it's from me", Zimmer said. "Then, really, what we have to try to do is figure out what is the best scenario for us".

No one in Minnesota's camp is declaring what the organization is going to do.

Who has the best uniforms in the NFL?

Zimmer has seen the value of continuity, particularly with Minnesota's defense in four seasons.

I would have expected Zimmer - or any coach for that matter - use a little more coach-speak in this type of situation, but perhaps Zimmer is confident enough about the Vikings' chances to land a bigger fish in free agency that he doesn't really care about the repercussions of saying something like this. "I don't know if Keenum is the guy at $20 million. If we don't, I'll probably be fired". Obviously he's an expert in the quarterback area. "So our input on those two guys will be important". He says he won't make any decisions until he returns to Minneapolis next week. Is he the guy when he was at Houston or the Rams, or is he the guy who played for us?

The biggest change is expected in Himachal, J&K and Uttarakhand , with temperature changes of over 2.4 degrees. The "normal" temperatures refer to the mean temperatures during these months between 1981 and 2010.

"Minnesota Vikings suffer playoff disappointment" is a cliché in football, but there is no disguising the fact that this year, once again, Vikings fans were left contemplating what might have been after a heartbreaking loss in the playoffs.

"I'd love to see him more", Zimmer said.

Drew Brees hit free agency in 2006, when he was 27, and signed a six-year, $60 million deal.

The Vikings are pleased with the progress that 2017 second-round pick Dalvin Cook is making in his recovery from a torn ACL that was suffered on October 1.

Both Zimmer and General Manager Rick Spielman spoke highly of Latavius Murray as a change-of-pace back at the combine this week; Murray, Spielman said, led the team in explosive runs, which the Vikings define as carries gaining 12 yards or more. "He is a competitor; he's got the heart of a Lion", Zimmer said Thursday.

"Dalvin is an unbelievable player". Of course, Mike Maccagnan could shock the world and bring in a talented free agent and draft well at the position, but we are not going to hold our breath. "But let's just understand where we're at". "Because he is a three-down back".

"I'm just glad the Vikings don't have a new coach", Zimmer quipped. It's going to be a big year for him. I think Chicago's defense is gonna stay the same. What's been reported out there - to my knowledge - I don't think the contract will toll, but the league will finalize that and have an announcement here in the near future.
