The Vikings offseason is officially in high gear, and the news is coming fast. 📉

In this episode of Vibe Of The Vikings, we break down the massive news: Brian Flores is BACK. We called this weeks ago, but we’re diving into the fine print—including those pesky Steelers rumors.

We also have to talk about that Mike Pettine interview. Mike, we see you taking "the high road," but the shade is real. We discuss the alleged rift between him and Flores, and why his "retirement" might have been a convenient opening for the team's new plans.

In the Lab: We take a look at the nightmare salary cap situation. We started $60M over, but I’ve found a way to get us $50M under. It involves some tough cuts, restructures, and a blockbuster "what if" trade involving T.J. Hockenson. (Relax, Skol Nation—it’s a thought experiment... for now.)

Plus: * Why Chris Kuper’s exit was inevitable (and who should replace him). Is Dwayne Ledford or Butch Barry the answer to our O-Line woes? Why the 2027 Vikings might hate us for what we did to the cap today.
