We know that the Vikings plan to have Sam Bradford as their starting quarterback this season after trading a first-round pick to the Eagles to acquire him in the wake of Teddy Bridgewater’s season-ending knee injury. That fourth-rounder turns into a third-round pick if Minnesota makes the playoffs, and a second-round pick if the Vikings make the Super Bowl.

1 pick out of Oklahoma, goes to Minnesota days after Vikings QB Teddy Bridgewater suffered a gruesome knee injury. “You go through those things, you get over it and you go on”.
“He was disappointed at first, but Shaun is a great person”, Zimmer said. “That was a family reunion like probably when I was like 6 or 7”, he said. He came in and I talked to him before it was announced obviously.
Adrian Peterson was “someone that I really looked up to” at Oklahoma, Bradford said.
Willie Beavers, a fourth-round pick this spring, was added to the Vikings practice squad on Sunday after not making the final 53-man roster on Saturday. Like if you told an actor he was shooting a cereal commercial, and midway through the shoot you changed it to a auto commercial, but the actor never broke character, switching smoothly to the new script. “And we’re going to do everything we possibly can”.
And while Brad said “it’s not ideal” that he hasn’t had an offseason to establish chemistry with his pass catchers, he seems confident they’ll figure each other out as the season wears on. Hill started with the first team on Monday during the portion of practice reporters were allowed to watch. “They’ve got to be focused. I don’t like to give an inch, so when we do, I get upset about it”. At some point, though, Bradford is going to take the reins.

We don’t know whether Bradford will be their starter against the Titans in Week One, however. You know he’s sitting and you know he can’t reach his shoe, so Xav’ does it, and I was down there today and I tied it for him. “I can say, with what we’ve done in the past few days, I feel pretty good with those”. I’m sure it’s a very small percentage.
