Welcome to the Vikings Daily Opener. Today, we have some interesting stories to cover.

The Minnesota Vikings are building around the foundation laid by coach Kevin O'Connell and GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah in the previous season. Despite the departure of some key players such as Adam Thielen and Eric Kendricks, the team is focused on maintaining the positive culture and relationships established in 2022 while also building up other areas. O'Connell and Adofo-Mensah made a conscious decision to not tear down the existing core in 2022, choosing instead to establish a winning foundation before clearing the decks financially to set themselves up for the future. The team's approach to team-building and financial management is explored in detail in the article. The article also delves into upcoming changes to NFL rules and other league news, including ESPN's Bill Barnwell's take on the Vikings' offseason, ranking them 20th out of the league's 32 teams, and the story of Jacky Chen, an offensive lineman from Division II Pace University, who is one of eight Asian Americans in this year's NFL rookie class.

All this and more!
