Attention all Vikings fans! In today's episode of Vikings Daily Opener, we have some exciting news to share. We're only 58 days away from the Minnesota Vikings week 1 season opener and we have some great updates on the team.

Firstly, Dorktown will be producing a seven-part documentary on the history of the Minnesota Vikings! As fans, we know that our team has a unique and fascinating history that is both thrilling and heartbreaking. This documentary promises to be a deep dive into the Vikings' 62-year history, complete with over a dozen Hall of Fame players, numerous scandals, and gut-wrenching heartbreaks. It will be produced by Dorktown in collaboration with Jon Bois and Alex Rubenstein from SB Nation's Secret Base, and will debut on August 1st. You won't want to miss out on this!

In addition to the documentary, ESPN has named T.J. Hockenson as the sixth-best tight end in the NFL. Hockenson is a cornerstone player for Minnesota's offense, and his performance last season is a testament to his talent. He had an impressive 62 receptions for 583 yards from Weeks 8 to 18, both of which were top-two finishes among tight ends. ESPN's writeup on Hockenson highlights his importance to the team, and the ranking of sixth feels right for him. However, some experts believe that he could become TE 2 or 3 next season with a great year.

Then, we discuss potential trade candidates for the Vikings entering the 2023 training camp. Despite winning the NFC North title last season, the Vikings are not receiving much respect from NFL observers heading into the new season. As a result, trades are possible during training camp to turn weaknesses into strengths. We look at three players who could be traded before the start of the season: edge rusher Danielle Hunter, center Garrett Bradbury, and running back Kene Nwangwu. Each player has their own unique strengths and weaknesses, and it will be interesting to see if the Vikings decide to part ways with any of them.

Finally get into a bit of Twins Talk, and talk the number 58 in Vikings history.
