Just so you know, if you have a 🤝 deal, both teams will still call around and play dumb. I don’t think people understand this.
Only thing it hinges on is trusting the two you’re dealing with.

According to

, the
#Vikings
are trying to get a trade up in place BEFORE draft day 👀
“[The Vikings have] been on the phone to actively move up… in a perfect world they would start Thursday with that top-5 pick already in hand.”

Charch said Kwesi must strike and strike big. He’s 1.5 for 15.
Addison and Ingram (counts as a half) bottom 10 guard in the league! Are his two hits.
This is known within the walls of TCO, expect a crazy week.

It’s done. Maybe less negative articles about then and you wouldn’t be so far behind on the news?
Maybe you’re not liked at TCO center by a certain few?

If the Vikings want to get to No. 2 and if they don't want to pay Justin Jefferson what he deserves, why not offer Jefferson to the Commanders as part of an effort to get Jayden Daniels?
As Adam Schefter notes here, New England knows the best (and final) offer from the Vikings and the Giants won't hit until they are on the clock at No. 3
Deadline
Speaking today, Eliot Wolf said the
#Patriots
are “open for business” regarding trade talks via
@ChadGraff
👀
Can the
#Vikings
get to pick No. 3? 🤔

@AdamSchefter
says that JJ McCarthy has some support from the
#Patriots
. New England likes a few different QBs.
The
#Vikings
are in love with Drake Maye
The
#Giants
would be satisfied with either McCarthy or Maye, but have shown preference to JJ.
McCarthy could very well go 3
Jayden Daniels isn’t the only QB who doesn’t want to play for the
#Commanders
.
I’m also told Drake Maye would be happy to slide past them. “Worst kept secret in the league” said one executive.
Defensive lineman Jonah Williams plans to sign with the
#Vikings
, whom he’s visiting today, per source.
Williams had 49 total tackles and two sacks for the
#Rams
last year.
TRADE DETAILS:
#Bills
are trading WR Stefon Diggs to the
#Texans
in exchange for a 2025 second-round pick (via the
#Vikings
), per
@DMRussini
The Texans also receive a 2025 fifth-round pick and a sixth-round pick.
I’m told with the rise of Michael Penix Jr draft stock the Vikings are now considering as plan B drafting the former Washington QB at # 11 and DT Byron Murphy II at # 23.. Minnesota wants to be prepared for all options on draft night
#Skol
How can the Vikings get the Patriots to change their mind and pass on Maye? The answer obviously is draft picks but here comes the rub, the Vikings draft picks I am told are INSUFFICIENT. That’s correct the 11th and 23rd first round picks PLUS their 1st round pick in next years
📞The Eagles are trying to move up... for a corner
🛒The Vikings are eyeing Drake Maye for a big haul
🩷 The Broncos need to be in love to get a QB
🍿The Titans could go WR
🎯QB Michael Pennix Jr. stock is up
🪜The Texans want back in on the action
👇👇👇
The
#Vikings
have made it clear that they want to land one of the top QBs in the draft, per
@JordanRaanan
“Especially with the Minnesota Vikings… having made it clear in league circles that they are serious about landing one of the top QBs.”
According to
@CharlesRobinson
, if the
#Patriots
take Drake Maye at pick No. 3, the
#Vikings
are “comfortable standing down” and taking QB Bo Nix at pick Nos. 11 or 23 🧐
“A very well-connected league source told Yahoo Sports they firmly believe that if the Patriots take Maye,
"I need a guy who is going to make the team a 12-win team, even when the rest of the roster is crap."

Patriots don’t like Drake Maye….
Good for Drake Maye. He’ll get the opportunity to succeed in a far better situation.
Giants / Vikings / Broncos
That’s unless Jonathan Kraft intervenes and insists on a QB. In that case? I’d bet they take McCarthy.
He’s guessing….
Solid guess tho
And no I don’t know the exact compensation but I’d venture to guess 4 picks. 3-1’s and 3rd with possibility of being of 2nd on performance

BREAKING: The New England Patriots expect several picks in return with their agreed deal with the Vikings.. these picks include: 2024 # 11, # 23, 2025 1st and 2026 2nd

@PaulCharchian
You overpay because you low balled Kirk, failed to have a back up plan. Management issues. They’re too busy looking at my tweets and other people leaking info. Good businesses block out the noise.
Gonna be interesting to see how many followers
@shreddervike
gains/loses tomorrow night.
2.4 k followers right now and has said for a while now that there is a deal with the Patriots for Maye (if he’s there).
Going to be VERY INTERESTING.

Correct
I know some think I’m anti-Kwesi, which is false.
Wilf’s are watching the situation closely. They’ve seen what the others have done in the division.
KOC seat isn’t hot. He’s elite.
Do KOC and Kwesi see eye to eye. Depends on who you ask.
Shredder files 💭🤔
For all of you Vikings fans that are freaking out about Peter Schrager’s mock draft…. In last year’s mock, if you don’t count the Bryce Young pick, he had one right out of 32 picks. One. He’s plugged in and an elite football mind, but it’s an absolute crapshoot
BREAKING: I’m told the Vikings do have an agreement with the New England Patriots to trade for the # 3 pick to select former North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye
#Skol
@brevmanbane
Keep in mind, announcing it now makes no sense. For example, commanders wants to get back up to X for McCarthy? Why would you give someone else an opportunity to jump up?
Per
@BenGoessling
via
@AccessVikings
, he's of the "belief" that the
#Vikings
are "going to make the trade up and get the guy they want" 🍿
"It felt like to me it was a confirmation of this is gathering resources to move up and get the guy they want even if we have to pay a lot
According to
@MatthewColler
, who's currently in Las Vegas doing book promotions for various radio stations ahead of SBLVIII on radio row, stated that most people in the industry believe QB Kirk Cousins will:
"sign with the best team possible and that's not [the
#Vikings
]. 👀
Per
@Charley_Walters
,
#Vikings
WR Justin Jefferson won’t be getting his extension until just before training camp opens 🤔
“It now appears Vikings WR Justin Jefferson won’t be getting his mega-contract extension… until just before training camp opens in late July.”

Harrison Smith's new deal is for $9 million, per his agency
@AthletesFirst
. Some cap relief for the

, and a little more Hitman for Minnesota.
"I would not dismiss this as a possibility. Would it be my first choice financially? No. Am I intrigued though by Justin Herbert the player? Damn right I am" 👀

trading for QB Justin Herbert

@JamieErdahl
on the Vikings in 2023
MICHIGAN pro day today. Nine general managers and seven head coaches are scheduled to attend.
Not on that list? Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and head coach Kevin O’Connell.
According to
@CarmieV
, the
#Vikings
, specifically HC Kevin O’Connell, like Drake Maye the best 👀
“From sources I've talked to, the Vikings, and coach Kevin O'Connell in particular, like Drake Maye, the former UNC QB with a high floor and tremendous pocket presence.”
📸:
@SInow
Also everyone asking, 95% certain no trade would happen until Thursday afternoon or during draft!
As I’ve mentioned, Pats may be working on an option to get back up to 5 to get JJM or whenever they think he lands.
"I think Drake Maye goes at number three & I'm hearing that the Vikings & Giants are trying to get up..
If the Patriots aren't sold on Maye they could trade back and draft JJ McCarthy..
That's playing a DANGEROUS game though"
@PSchrags
#PMSLive
Sources tell Shredder that Kirk was willing to take a team friendly deal but the Vikings don’t want to give him more than a year (2 years reported is false)
Another mismanagement by Kwesi and crew.
