The Minnesota Vikings delivered mini-news on Thursday when general manager Rick Spielman sent a 6th-Round draft pick to the Arizona Cardinals for center Mason Cole.
Onlookers to the Vikings offseason have impatiently waited for offensive line developments. Before Thursday, the franchise had three sure-fire starting offensive linemen (Brian O’Neill, Garrett Bradbury, and Ezra Cleveland) and a couple of other players that can start in a pinch.
Cole was a 3rd-Round talent drafted from the University of Michigan in 2018. His three-year career has transpired in Arizona. Cole will turn 25 years old this weekend.
