With two of his former coaches now in Minnesota, there is no doubt the Vikings will take a look at bringing in Bob Sanders in 2012. Sanders, new defensive coordinator Alan Williams, and head coach Leslie Frazier were all on the 2006 Super Bowl champion Colts team. A reunion in Minnesota would not be that [...]

Is Mike Singletary the Best Man for Vikings Defensive Coordinator Job?

By: Andrew Fisher

It’s been awhile but Mike Singletary has found his way back into the headlines. Singletary’s former “project” Vernon Davis just had the game of his life and many are giving Singletary credit for his role in Davis’ maturation process.

Minnesota Vikings Possible 2012 NFL Free Agent Pickups: WR Reggie Wayne

By: Andrew Fisher

The Minnesota Vikings can clearly use some help at wide receiver going into the 2012 season. Besides Percy Harvin, there are no real big-play threats at wide out. I have no doubt that the Vikings will take a receiver in the 2012 NFL Draft, but the free agent market is a great place to get [...]
