Their best offensive lineman from last year, Riley Reiff, declined an extension and will test free agency. The Vikings wanted to keep Reiff in the building for as long as possible, but the 2021 free-agent market i...9798Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/front-page/alijah-vera-tucker-is-purple-rain-for-minnesotas-guard-drought/In last week’s Minnesota Vikings draft adventure, Rashawn Slater fell into Minnesota’s lap, and Rick Spielman used the 14th overall pick to add him to the mix.   Following Slater’s Pro Day performance, that’s a less likely scenario.   To the surprise of virtually no one, Slater showed strong and...9797Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/front-page/kirk-cousins-revealed-a-lot-in-his-blitz-summit-interview-with-charles-davis/Kirk Cousins made an appearance at the Blitz summit, a yearly coaching conference held virtually in 2021.
