Vikings fans, have you heard the latest episode of Vikings Daily Opener? It's packed with updates on the Minnesota Vikings' players' progress and news from the mini-camp and more. The Minnesota Vikings recently wrapped up their mandatory minicamp, with quarterback Kirk Cousins stating that he doesn't expect to discuss a contract extension with the team until March 2024. This statement has led to speculation about Cousins' future with the team, with ESPN's Ryan Clark expressing doubts about whether Cousins will remain with the Vikings beyond the 2023 season. Despite this uncertainty, the Vikings don't have a solid plan in place for the quarterback position after 2023, which means the door remains open for Cousins to return.

During the minicamp, the Vikings showed impressive offensive versatility with a variety of personnel groupings and formations. Recently acquired tight end Josh Oliver made a good impression with two impressive catches, including an over-the-top grab in the red zone. Rookie cornerback Akayleb Evans has been competing with the starters and may be the leader for the second cornerback spot. Running back Kene Nwangwu is vying for the backup job behind Alexander Mattison, offering a change-of-pace style that has been evident for a couple of years on kick returns.

The upcoming Netflix documentary "Quarterback" featuring Cousins, Patrick Mahomes, and Marcus Mariota is generating excitement among fans, with a sneak peek recently released. In other news, The Real Forno Show discussed the recent mandatory minicamp and did a 7-on-7 draft of rookies, while SKOL Search analyzed South Carolina QB Spencer Rattler as a potential fit for the Vikings in the 2024 NFL draft.

Overall, while there is some uncertainty regarding Cousins' future with the team, the Vikings are focusing on developing their rookies and undrafted free agents during minicamp and are demonstrating impressive offensive versatility and personnel groupings. Fans are eagerly anticipating the upcoming "Quarterback" documentary, and analysts are already speculating about potential draft picks for the team in the 2024 NFL draft.

All this some SKOL Searching, followed by our trip down memory lane with the number 87.
