The Vikings reaffirmed their "run it back" mantra this week at the NFL owners' meetings in Florida. Head coach Kevin O'Connell spoke of ways he could help Kirk Cousins thrive while also indicating he thinks he can get more out of Garrett Bradbury.
Owner Mark Wilf reiterated that the team can "compete at the highest level" and asserted that the Vikings "have a lot of great players on this roster."
Many of those players were on the roster for back-to-back seasons in which the Vikings hovered at or below .500 much of the time before missing the playoffs.
