As the 2022 NFL season has “skated away on the thin ice of a new day” (thanks to Ian Anderson) here in Minnesota, we must forge ahead on the frozen footing of the offseason. Icy contract negotiations, frigid forecasts of new players and slippery prognostications of the season ahead. Throw in some coaching staff hires piling up like snowbanks in February and you have a metaphor so tortured you feel like Jack Nicholson at the end of “The Shining.”
Okay, enough of the ice storm allegory (timely given the weather throughout the state on Monday morning), but hidden in that first graph are the subjects of this week’s Vikings Territory Breakdown Podcast with Joe Oberle from Vikings Territory and purplePTSD and Mark Craig from the Star Tribune and startribune.
