The Minnesota Vikings are deep in draft work, but they have three more decisions to make by May 3.
The New Orleans Saints made a quiet announcement that serves as a reminder that, while at the moment the focus is on the April 28-30 draft, Tuesday, May 3 is going to be another big day in the NFL – a date that will have plenty of impact on the Minnesota Vikings.
May 3 is the date that teams have to announce whether they intend to exercise the fifth-year option on players drafted in the first round.
