One of the things that strikes me after watching some of the interviews of Vikings players after the start of off-season workouts, is the number of guys the Vikings have now that are likely to play all, or mostly all, of their career with the Minnesota Vikings.
In a league where free agency and players moving on and playing for different teams is increasingly the norm, the Vikings have been able to keep a core group of players together for many years now, and for at least a half-dozen or so starters, are likely to spend their entire career with the Vikings.
