If I remember correctly, topping the previous standard the Vikings set in 2020.

. . Twyman was shot four times while in the area visiting family. That cost Twyman all of what would have been his rookie season, but his NFL career is now back on the right track. Twyman hasn’t played in a football game of any sort since 2019, when he put together an outstanding season at Pittsburgh, collecting 10.5 sacks and gaining some steam as a potential high draft pick. After opting out of the 2020 college football season due to COVID concerns, however, his stock dropped, allowing the Vikings to grab him in the sixth round. He was a part of some of the Vikings’ initial OTAs last season, but the June shooting put him on the shelf for the entire 2021 season while he recovered.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Twyman has to offer. He might project well as a 3-4 DE who can move inside when they shift to a 4-man DL.

Chad Graff @ChadGraff · 2h League rules last year meant players would’ve had to buy up all their available jerseys in order to switch numbers. Dalvin Cook said it would’ve cost him $1.2 million to switch from 33 to 4. So he waited until this season when there’s no penalty.

Are there going to be any numbers left over for Kickers, punters and QBs after the WRs, TEs, CBs, RB etc take them all up? Will the next great QB wear number 87?

Kyle Sloter continues to win: https://sports.yahoo.com/former-vikings-qb-leads-team-125852833.html He may not be good enough to beat the outstanding talent in Mannion, but maybe the new regime would give Kyle a chance to compete for the backup QB position ?

I just like seeing the Vikings winning all of their pre-season games.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/33768667/cooper-kupp-says-not-trying-beat-anybody-reaches-extension-los-angeles-rams Sounds like a legit team player.

Interesting Takes on two Vikes: https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-pff-101-top-101-players-from-2021-nfl-season 21. WR JUSTIN JEFFERSON, MINNESOTA VIKINGS 2021 Snaps: 965 \| 2021 PFF Grade: 90.4 Jefferson’s rookie season was so incredible that some kind of regression seemed inevitable in Year 2. Instead, the Vikings pass-catcher backed it up with another outstanding year. He averaged 2.59 yards per route run and put up over 1,600 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns, ranking fourth in the NFL in targets among wide receivers. Jefferson is already a complete receiver and one of the most devastating players in the league at the position. PFF 101 Rank, 2020: 15 41. QB KIRK COUSINS, MINNESOTA VIKINGS 2021 Snaps: 1,030 \| 2021 PFF Grade: 89.6 So much focus is on where Cousins falls short that we often fail to recognize just how good he has been in Minnesota and his impressive continual improvement. He finished the regular season with the No. 5-ranked quarterback grade and dropped to No. 6 by the end of the playoffs. Cousins was one of the most accurate passers in the game, with a top-10 big-time throw rate and turnover-worthy play rate. He is not one of the very best passers in the game, but he might be the best of the next tier. PFF 101 Rank, 2020: unranked QBs ranked above him (Joe Burrow 6, Tom Brady 9, Josh Allen 14, Aaron Rodgers 18, Herbert 25)

Darren Wolfson @DWolfsonKSTP · 31m What was always assumed is now a lock to happen with today the deadline: I hear that the #Vikings have declined the 5th-year option on center Garrett Bradbury.

Also, if you waited to sign him now, it doesn't count against you when they figure out Compensatory Picks.

It's happened about 3-4 in the past 48 hours. The Steelers declined Devin Bush. Giants Daniel Jones. Raiders Josh Jacobs, Johnathan Abram and Clelin Ferrell. Just to name a few. Of the first round picks from 2019, 11 of them have already been declined options by their respective teams. Bradbury was scheduled to jump about $11-million in 2023 to $13-million base salary and his dead cap would have been very high.

Raiders and Giants have new coaches and GMs. They aren't invested in those players. Bush and Bradbury just haven't been very good.

Bulk of the top 100 are 30+ old.
