And the franchise emerged with some future draft-pick assets to attempt to put a better team around Wentz. I think the Vikings maybe learned a lesson when they brought in Josh Freeman in 2013 and played him after 1 ½ weeks of having him around, and they just got creamed against the Giants on national television.

Bradford will be reunited with former Sooners teammate Adrian Peterson, who was told of the trade before Saturday’s Oklahoma-Houston game.
Many fans had the same experience.
Minnesota previously was counting on Shaun Hill to take over for Teddy Bridgewater, who suffered a season-ending knee injury last Tuesday in practice. The initial response was not great.
Rick Spielman, the general manager of the Minnesota Vikings, revealed that he had to pay a huge price just to secure Sam Bradford from the Philadelphia Eagles.
In the past, the team has found a lot of success in first round draft picks. The Vikings have tried to combat this by acquiring veteran Sam Bradford from the Philadelphia Eagles. Even though the Vikings overpaid for Bradford I like this deal because they can still be competitive and have a chance at the playoffs.
The Vikings quarterback is putting in work on his part so far.
“I would call it more of a shock”. I noticed Griffin didn’t make the team over the weekend. He’s right. For a team to be solid, practice has to be done regularly, especially coming from offseason where teams usually conduct camps to help players spent more time playing together and know each other’s kind of play. I can understand the pick.
Well, with the season pretty much upon us, experts everywhere are putting out their first meaningful Power Rankings of the season. “And [Spielman] was just taken aback”.
This week, I caught up with Matt Vensel, who is in his third year covering the Vikings for the Star Tribune. In exchange for Bradford, the Vikings had to give up a 2017 first-round draft pick as well as a 2018 fourth-round draft pick.
Minnesota wants to get him back on the field as soon as possible, and he is doing exactly what he is supposed to.
The Vikings have moved back inside after a two-year stint at the University of Minnesota while their $1.1 billion, ship-shaped, see-through venue was being built. I know our coaches wanted him. And while they can look for any edge they can get by being secretive, in the long run they’re going to plug somebody in and hope he doesn’t make too many mistakes, then rely on their defense and running game to carry the day.
Bridgewater suffered a season-ending knee injury August 30 in practice and reportedly will undergo surgery today to fix a torn anterior cruciate ligament and other structural damage. One win means a great deal in the National Football League, but the expectation of missing the playoffs is expected either way.

After the two-hour practice was whistled to an end, Bradford stayed on the field to throw passes to tight end Kyle Rudolph, wideout Adam Thielen and others.
