The Minnesota Vikings systematically checked off an offseason to-do list – from new coaches, free agents, the draft, to Harrison Smith’s contraction extension at the end of August. While the sentiment internally from the team and among its fans is positive for a 2021 prognosis, most national entities consider the Vikings a middling team, extremely similar to the 2020 version. Perhaps the same quarterback-coach combo will do that for onlookers.
All in all, one outstanding item remains unresolved for the Vikings offseason with just five days before go-time. That’s the contractual extension of Brian O’Neill.
