NFL: ***Official Offseason Thread***

Nate Kaeding to the Vikes as kicking coach. Hate to see anything relating to TOE wearing purple.
 
Would think the Hard Knocks team announcement would be coming here sometime soon:

 
@AdamSchefter: Vikings are giving veteran TE Kyle Rudolph a four-year, $36 million extension that locks him into Minnesota, per source. Rudolph not going anywhere, except back to the Vikings.
 
Just checking in on the Bears and their kicker situation -

One of the three remaining after they had as many as eight trying out was cut today after all three missed a 42 yard FG at the team's first minicamp practice.

I think Nagy's fixation on making them kick 42 yard field goals (the distance from where Parkey double doinked it last January) is his first significant mistake as a head coach. Have a kicking competition by all means, but bury last year and move on. Continuing to force them to make a pressure kick from 42 yards out only serves to remind everyone else on the team of what happened. The focus should be on next season, not how last season ended.
