Concerns Answered: The Kevin O'Connell Trade, Outlook at Rams, Calais Campbell
Please note: These are opinion-based reactions. Some responses will be inaccurate from time to time. We'll attempt to keep that to a minimum.
Lon Horwedel-Imagn Images Q: Will the Vikings in fact trade Kevin O'Connell, as the reports specified over the weekend?
Jeff Hanisch-Imagn Images.
Fox Sports' Jay Glazer stated several groups had an interest in trading for O'Connell, even if the young skipper isn't for sale. Coach trades are unusual in business, although the Denver Broncos got Sean Payton from the New Orleans Saints in 2023 for a substantial haul, consisting of a 1st-Round draft choice.[»19659004]”There's one prospect out there that's going to shock you all, that nobody understands is on lists, and he is. There are several groups that in fact are thinking about attempting to trade for Kevin O'Connell,” Glazer stated.
“Maybe the Vikings do not let it occur. Likewise Kevin O'Connell kind of has the card stating, ‘Hey, listen, I'm not going to resign there so you may as well get something for me'. Now, I do not understand because, clearly, I do not believe Kevin understands about this today. There are numerous groups who have them on that board to state, ‘Let's at least attempt and see if we can trade,” Glazer included.
Naturally, press reporters asked O'Connell about the reports on Monday following his group's loss at Detroit. He appeared familiar with the Glazer report and responded, “I'm not truly thinking about resolving the reports or the speculation. What I can inform you is I like this group. I enjoy whatever about this company. This is where I wish to be. This is where I wish to keep training and leading.”
The Vikings aren't even “late” in extending O'Connell. He still has one year left on his offer.
O'Connell and Minnesota's brass will complete an offer within the next numerous weeks.
He will not be traded.
Q: Do you anticipate Minnesota to win the championship game at Los Angeles?
Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images.
Response: Yes.
Our company believe Sam Darnold will recuperate after a ghastly Week 18 video game. The Rams' offending line isn't outstanding, so Andrew Van Ginkel and Jonathan Greenard must get to Matthew Stafford.
We believe Kevin O'Connell will have a chip on his shoulder to get the finest of his old group.
Vikings over Rams, 27-21.
Q: What took place to the Calais Campbell theories?
Kirby Lee-Imagn Images.
Response: Miami never ever launched him.
Campbell was practically traded to the Baltimore Ravens before the November due date,
