Before the Vikings got back to .500 by defeating the Packers 24-10 on Sunday, General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said he received messages from multiple veteran players on the team who wanted to tell the boss, in so many words, not to sell at the trade deadline.
"'Kwes, we're gelling. We love this team. We love being here.'" Adofo-Mensah recalled Wednesday. "They didn't need to do that, but I love the relationship I have with those guys that they felt comfortable enough to reach out through different channels to say that. Obviously, won the game the way we did, and ultimately, I made the decision that we made to stand pat and keep going the way we're going.
