The Minnesota Vikings are still weeks away from training camp, so The Viking Age's Chris Schad and Adam Patrick decided to clear the air with the latest version of the Vikings Take Purge.

From whether the Vikings should consider trading Justin Jefferson to Kevin O'Connell's future, the Wilfs' ownership philosophy, and why some unpopular opinions might actually make sense, nothing is off limits in this episode.

Matthew Coller of Purple Insider joins The Viking Age Podcast to break down the Minnesota Vikings' biggest storylines heading into the 2026 season.

Chris Schad and Matthew discuss the quarterback battle between Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy, the early impact of new general manager Nolan Teasley, expectations for the Vikings' rookie class, Harrison Smith's future, and whether this roster has what it takes to contend in the NFC.
