Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
The beginning of camp is traditionally the "contract deadline" for the Vikings front office, so I figured our holdouts would get handled imminently. I'm just glad that it's one more sign of impending football season, I'm very curious to see the culture of this team with the changes this year.
KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....
