Ask an everyday Minnesota Vikings fan about the team’s offseason doings. Most will commend the franchise for fixing the defense and drafting key offensive line pieces plus a potential franchise quarterback.
To be sure, the Vikings go “all-in” for a Super Bowl each season, scoffing at the notion of a rebuild when others teams in similar situations might contemplate pressing the reset button. Not general manager Rick Spielman and these Vikings.
Three years ago, Spielman signed quarterback Kirk Cousins to get the team “over the top,” but to date, one stunning playoff win at New Orleans in 2019 is the only fruit of that transaction.
