Purple Insider - a Minnesota Vikings and NFL podcast

Matthew Coller and WCCO Radio's Paul Hodowanic play a game of "Would you Rather?" They talk about whether you'd rather pay Kyler Murray or have Baker Mayfield short term. If you'd prefer Kevin O'Connell versus any other non-elite coach in the NFL. If you'd rather have 11 wins for the Minnesota Vikings this year or a top-three pick next year. And if you'd rather live in Los Angeles or Minnesota.

Matthew Coller and Sam Ekstrom talk about recent drama with Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray and what that says about the future of the quarterback position and whether it makes a stronger argument for the Vikings to draft a quarterback or hang back and wait until there are available QBs when it's time to move on from Kirk Cousins.

Matthew Coller and Sam Ekstrom were in attendance at TCO Performance Center for Kirk Cousins's first press conference since signing his extension and it was...uncomfortable. Did Cousins have a message for fans or insight into what type of coach Kevin O'Connell will be? And Patrick Peterson called the defense "stacked" ...is that true? What could happen in the draft to create more drama around this team?
