We have discussed where the Vikings are ranked in the weekly Power Rankings with more than a few dismissing it as meaningless. It is. But it is part of the season long journey. Since it is the bye week and there are no games, what do you think the team should be doing? Trades are always an interesting discussion but it takes two to tango. It’s hard to find one that makes sense.
I think that they would have wanted to make the trade before players get the days off for the bye week because it would have given that new player more time to learn.
