Justin Day explores the Minnesota Vikings' off-season controversies that have generated significant discussion among fans and analysts. The article begins with the discussion of Justin Jefferson's absence from voluntary workouts. While some may view this as a cause for concern, Justin argues that voluntary workouts are optional. Jefferson's absence allowed other wide receivers, such as KJ Osborn and Jalen Nailor, to gain valuable experience and take first-team reps with Kirk Cousins. This could be beneficial in the long run, as it will allow for a "next man up" mentality if any wide receivers are injured in the future.

He then moves on to Kirk Cousins' contract situation. Cousins is in the last year of his contract and was offered a one-year extension, which he declined. The Vikings are keeping their options open at this point, with the possibility of extending Cousins if he has another great season or testing the waters with a rookie quarterback next year. Despite the uncertainty, the author believes that Cousins will be the team's quarterback in 2023 and praises his leadership and commitment to the team.

Finally, Justin discusses Danielle Hunter's desire for a contract extension and the Vikings' response to it. The team has not offered him an extension but did offer to give him more money this season. He predicts that Hunter will not play for the team again, as the relationship between him and the team seems to be beyond repair. The Vikings are shopping Hunter, but no team has shown interest in giving up a first-round pick for him. Justin hopes for a peaceful resolution but is mentally preparing for the possibility that Hunter will not play for the team again.

Overall, Justin provides a comprehensive overview of the Minnesota Vikings' off-season controversies and offers insights into the potential outcomes of each situation. Although there is uncertainty surrounding the team at this point, the author remains hopeful for a positive resolution to each controversy.
