Minnesota Vikings News and Links, 3/4

Happy hump day, ladies and gentlemen!

Since the last time we brought you an Open Thread. . .

-We took a look at the Minnesota Vikings' defensive line situation as we head into free agency and the real start of the off-season.

-Adrian Peterson has said that he's willing to restructure his deal to facilitate a trade. To stay with the Minnesota Vikings? Maybe not so much.

-In a shocking move, the Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to trade the NFL's third-leading rusher, LeSean McCoy, to the Buffalo Bills. Could this mean something for a (potential) Adrian Peterson trade?

From some other sources around the interwebs. . .

-Minnesota Vikings' management will be heading to Houston today to have a sit down with Adrian Peterson.

-Former Vikings' receiver Sidney Rice has agreed to donate his brain to science after he passes away, so that it can be studied to determine the effects of football on the brain.

-Two of the Vikings' in-house free agents, guard Joe Berger and defensive tackle Tom Johnson, are seeking bigger paydays on the open market after their performances last season.

The rules of the Open Thread are as follows:

-No discussion of politics or religion
-No feeding of the trolls
-Keep the bad language to a minimum (using the spoiler tags, if you must)
-No pictures that could potentially get someone fired or in serious trouble at their place of employment
-If you can't disagree in a civil manner, feel free to go away

With that, the beer light is on and the bar is open for this Wednesday, ladies and gentlemen. Enjoy the rest of your day, and we'll have more for you as the day goes on.
