The stadium isn't as important as the atmosphere around the stadium. Was by far the coolest Vikes game I have been to in Lambeau.
That defense is going to be awful. No matter how good the offense can potentially be.
Team is going 7-10.
Vikes got 2024 and 2025 5th round picks.
They also gave up 2025 6th and 7th round picks.

Agreed. There's almost no way he's on the roster on opening day. They re-signed Mattison. They drafted McBride. And they like both Chandler and Kene. I honestly wouldn't be that surprised if they cut even another RB after Cook is gone. I'm hoping Kene's return ability keeps his roster spot safe, but you never know.
They keep talking about the possibility of restructuring Cook but I don't see how you do that after resigning Mattison. Can't keep both of them. Trade Mattison? Don't think that happens.
Not sure how I feel about Mattison being the #1 back. Dude has been on my ess list since he missed the hole and lost the game against the Seahawks.
Most talking heads give the Vikings a B grade for what they feel was a so-so return. But for guy that had already announced he wouldn’t return, not sure how much production the Vikings would have gotten out of Smith. I’ll take the two 5th rounders and move on.
I’m okay with Mattison being #1 for this upcoming season. Let him try and prove himself. If he doesn’t produce #1 kind of numbers, we can always go another direction. Running backs just aren’t as valued as they use to be(unless you’re McCaffery or Henry).

Mattison is probably around for this season and next year, at minimum. Theoretically they could cut him after this season, but he would carry a $4 million dead money hit if they let him go, which isn't huge, but is kind of a lot for the running back position.
I'm excited to see Chandler and McBride. Different skillsets, but both have the tools to be the primary back. I would think that both will get plenty of opportunities.
