Could Case Keenum end up back in Minnesota?
With Joe Flacco in, Case Keenum is likely out in Denver. Could Keenum work his way back to Minnesota?

But let’s not [more]
What’s next for Case Keenum?

Kirk Cousins has been “frustrated” all offseason
The Vikings spent all that money to sign Kirk Cousins so he could get them beyond a playoff berth.

Everson Griffen could be a cap casualty in Minnesota
Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen still has four more years on his contract, but he may be gone from Minnesota soon.

How long will Jared Goff be the Rams’ quarterback?
Fresh from a disappointing performance in Super Bowl LIII, it’s fair to ask whether the Rams will keep quarterback Jared Goff beyond the expiration of his rookie deal. Especially given that Goff’s remaining contract matches the duration of another contract that, once expired, could attract the attention of Rams coach Sean McVay. Goff has one [more]
Vikings could be moving Riley Reiff to guard

Huge day coming from Atlanta
Thursday will be our biggest day yet from Atlanta, or arguably from any Super Bowl city.
