Based on the words and the demeanor of coach Kevin O'Connell on Monday, the Vikings aren't pivoting from their 2023 goals. The competitive rebuild continues. It's not time to trade away talent or tank, it's time to improvise.
The 4-4 Vikings are moving past their sudden quarterback quandary following Kirk Cousins' season-ending Achilles injury and looking to stack more wins on top of their current three-game streak. They are going to keep pushing for the postseason.
For those wondering if the Vikings will trade defensive stud Danielle Hunter or other assets and position themselves for a 2024 draft that will have quality signal-callers, the flag flying above the TCO Performance Center in Eagan is still purple — not white.
