Vikings kick off offseason with coach, QB uncertainty

Kevin O'Connell and the Minnesota Vikings won 14 games in 2024 before the season ended abruptly with a wild-card loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Monday. Let the offseason -- and the pressing questions -- begin. O'Connell and general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah are entering the final year of their four-year deals with team president Mark Wilf opting to push extension talks to the end of the regular season. Minnesota is 34-17 in the regular season over three seasons and 0-2 in the playoffs under O'Connell, who is the oddsmakers' pick for NFL Coach of the Year. Wilf said he's "looking forward to a great future" with his current coach and GM after media reports suggested other teams would show interest in a potential trade for O'Connell.
