Summary

Matthew Coller talks about the Minnesota Vikings approach to NFL free agency and whether there are any good free agents left that the Vikings can sign. Would they want receivers like DeAndre Hopkins or Christian Kirk for Kyler Murray? Are there any good running backs to add after Aaron Jones was retained? Also some fan questions. Is Kyler Murray going to be a Viking long term? Do the Vikings risk getting stuck in the middle with Kyler Murray? How about Jonathan Greenard's situation? What's the lowest amount the Vikings would trade for him? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, presented by Fandul, Matthew Collar here.

0:27.9

And in this episode, we dive into remaining free agents.

0:31.9

Are there a surprising amount or are they all gone?

0:35.0

Let's get into it.

0:36.5

All right, over the beginning of free agency,

0:39.2

what way would we describe the Minnesota Vikings?

they reworked the contract of T.J. Hawkinson, and they added Kyler Murray. So it's not like

1:06.2

they have done absolutely nothing. In fact, they have set themselves up in the future for a better salary

1:18.1

only restructured a couple of contracts just to get to the point of being cap compliant, but they

So it matters what the Vikings have done.

1:34.3

But if you were hoping that this free agency period would be like last year and that they were going to go and add a bunch of players, well, you've been pretty sorely disappointed.
