What is the premise of the new Vikings GM’s first big decision?
I came into this topic thinking that probably wasn't anything there there. I can now definitively say that there's something there. This is Stephen Dean, your host of the Unidentified Alien podcast. And that clip you just heard of Congressman Eric Burleson is one example of the work being done on this show. It's not too late to join in on the conversation.

Here's what Pat from Padres Brewing had to say. people call during the podcast and say, are you open? I want to come there. We have people call who listen to the podcast who don't live here and say, hey, can I get beer in California? We've had a couple of people call from California, another guy call from New York. No, you can't get it there. We had another person drive here from Indianapolis, stopped here, was going to a Vikings game, was a big fan, and actually stopped here on the way because they were podcast fans and Vikings fans. So for us, we see really tangible results for our investment, which is good. Whether you're a local business or a national brand, Score North offers custom ad solutions that drive real results.

Super Bowl, no problem.
Purple Daily is daily Vikings entertainment. We just want the Vikings to win a Super Bowl before we die. I will ride with this group. Seriously, man. Yeah.
And away we go.
And away we do go on Purple Access, which means it's Judd, it's Chip. It is another very exciting edition of the off-season show, which fortunately won't have a lot of dead time because, well, training camp's right around the corner, Chip Scoggins. But what we do have today is a list of names I'm going to give you. We haven't talked a lot. I don't feel like we've touched on it. But I feel like we haven't talked a lot about Nolan Teasley and where the front office is going. And we've covered this team for a long time. But, you know, as far as GMs go, it was Rick Spielman for a long time, and then it was Quasey pretty briefly, and now it's Nolan Teasley and a new group largely up top, other than Brzezinski now being back in his role, but...
you know there are you look at it there are some very interesting veteran players who have contracts that are going to expire after this season and i'm sure they would all love rich extensions chipper i'm sure they would but who wouldn't want a rich extension at this point right exactly right but you know that this is going to be a new administration i'm not sure how they're going to operate i think they're going to operate probably a little bit more in a drafting world where you know you ideally get guys to replace veterans Yep. So I want to run through this list player by player of the ones I've cherry picked as far as guys who could get extensions. And, you know, this used to be in the Spielman years, and I feel like crazy as well.
But in the Spielman years, this was definitely like in training camp writers.
Summertime. It was summertime.
like you'd get the press release or you'd get the you get the story that one guy in particular or two guys have signed extensions and i don't know that's going to happen here but i want to get your thoughts on this all right so let's start at the top here with um with uh brian o'neill right tackle Right now, he's 31. He's in the last year of a contract. He is gonna count $23.1 million against the salary cap. Base salary of $18.9 million. We know that he didn't take part in OTA practices. He was there. Didn't take part in those practices because of this. And it's not a holdout. It's basically just if I get hurt with no guaranteed cash left, it's a problem.
