Purple PTSD works alongside Vikings Territory. Every so often, we highlight what’s going on over there so that Purple PTSD readers can get a sense of what VT has been discussing. Take a peak at three of their leading pieces from this past week.

Article #1: The Vikings Get 2 Additional Draft Picks in 2023

Quotable Quote: “Well, a consolation prize for Woods and Cole departing is the picks in next year’s draft. The haul is not legendary, but with general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah’s wherewithal to trade draft picks — he conducted the most trades of any GM during the 2022 draft — perhaps the 6th-Rounders can be used for a grander purpose.”

Article #2: “Kirk Cousins, I’m coming for your job!” Country Singer Calls out Minnesota Vikings QB!

Quotable Quote: “Clearly, the statements are delivered in jest but it’s hard to deny that Wallen has some throwing talent. Even some of the movements show that he may even have a little experience in his back pocket…even if it has a little backyard football feeling to it.”

Article #3: Vikings Deemed as Fit for Former Rival

Quotable Quote: “The 29-year-old Eric Ebron could be a better version of what Rudolph can bring to the table. He’s a pass-catching tight end with a lot of experience in the league. The Detroit Lions selected him with the 10th pick in the 2014 draft. The Vikings picked Anthony Barr with the ninth pick.”

Enjoy your Saturday reading, Vikings fans. Skol.
