PurplePTSD works in partnership with Vikings Territory , similarly doing their utmost to offer top-notch coverage of the Minnesota Vikings . As a result, we're promoting five of their top articles of the past month in "The P/PTSD Perspective." Take a peek at some of their best stuff.
The P/PTSD Perspective: February 7th, 2026
1) Report Suggests Brian Flores Has a Surprising Draft Priority : At this point, DC Brian Flores is known as precisely that: a defensive coordinator. Do note, though, that his background involves being a scout as well as a coach who has helped on offense and special teams. He happens to have a knack for identifying strong talent.

2) Exiled Vikings Player Projected to Sign Monster Contract : The growth from RG Ed Ingram in Houston has been tricky for the Vikings. Did that solid play down in Texas lead to the decision to move on from OL Coach Chris Kuper ? At no point did Ingram play particularly well in Minnesota , a trend that broke once he became a Texan.

3) Why the New GM Wants to Work in Minnesota : Coming to Minnesota means inheriting a team with an unsettled QB position, a salary cap that needs a ton of work, and few young players coming up. The positive is that Minnesota has great facilities, Justin Jefferson at WR, and a talented coaching staff. Who ends up getting signed to be the new leader in the front office?

4) The Buzzy Vikings Rumor Gets a Fresh Gust of Wind : Being able to pick Drake Maye would have made a major difference. Already, Maye is an elite passer who has led his team to the Super Bowl. Winning it all in just his second season will have fully solidified that he was more than worth the Patriots sticking at No. 3 to choose him.
5) Aaron Jones Slams the Vikings : Veteran running back Aaron Jones is a great leader. When Jones speaks, people should listen. Being disappointed in how things have gone at quarterback is sensible enough. After all, the QB spot in Minnesota is largely responsible for keeping the Vikings out of the playoffs.
