All Things 2026 Minnesota Vikings Off-Season Thread

As far as Flores lawsuit goes, the fact that SCTOUS ruled that the case may proceed in court and therefore discovery can become public knowledge all but guarantees that this will get settled, and probably sooner than later, with Flores getting much of what he wants.

On Bumper to bumper Friday during the Goessling segment, I heard that Rob B will report to new GM Teasley.

This just further confirms to me that not hiring the new GM until after the draft was a purposeful play by the Wilfs to allow the new GM to wash his hands of the 2026 season if need be.

(In spite of Dan's loud consternations to the opposite, either being genuinely or performatively glib of the obvious truth of the above sentence.)


And it makes me wonder how genuinely Rob B actually wanted to be the GM here, or if that was just performative. Because if he does want to be an NFL GM .... then why would he accept this?

It sounds like Brezinski was given a meaningless title promotion but it came with a healthy raise. The Vikings have had some very strange and seemingly uncomfortable FO dynamics under the Wilfs which have limited the ceiling of this organization IMO.
