Vikings' O'Connell Jokes He Sent Flowers to Patriots Amid 2024 NFL Draft Trade Rumors

The Minnesota Vikings are expected to try to trade up in next week's NFL draft to take a quarterback, and head coach Kevin O'Connell joked about the extreme measures he's taking to get a higher pick.

On Friday, O'Connell joked that he sent New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft some flowers to sweeten the deal on a potential trade.

"You know, I may or may not have sent a nice bouquet of flowers to Robert Kraft the other day," O'Connell said.

It would likely take more than a bouquet of flowers to get the Patriots to trade their No.
