and Hey everybody welcome to another episode of purple insider Matthew Collard here and well just

before I decided to record this episode of purple insider I tweeted at the Minnesota Vikings

and I said,

is it safe for me to record a podcast?

So if this one quickly becomes irrelevant

because the Vikings make a big move,

they didn't respond to me and you can hold them responsible.

Seriously though, it is always interesting recording within the free agency period because

news breaks so fast. So we're going to talk about the most pressing matter for the Vikings and

then we'll see if that changes really quickly and that of course is the fact that

they traded with the Houston Texans to get the 23rd overall pick, which we all assumed was going to quickly be turned into a top four or top five pick.

Yet over the weekend, I watched a ton of college basketball but did not see at any point any

reports of the Vikings moving up just yet. So we have a little bit of a rumor we've got a

Viking player leaving for the New England Patriots and a lot of Vikings fans questions that have been emailed to me. You can send it over a purple insider.com. Go to contact us.

That's a good place to do it.

Or send me a direct message at Matthew Collar

if you want to jump in on one of these fans only episodes.

So let's start out though with the rumor and this comes from a former

PFF employee Jackson McIntyre. Well I know a little bit he says I'm not one

this is on Twitter to who typically reports these things, but I'm hearing from someone I trust that the Vikings trade talks to this point have been primarily with New England and to a lesser degree Arizona.

Sounds like Washington is assumed around the league

to be staying put at number two.
