Episode Details

Two Old Bloggers: NFC North Free Agency "Dogfight," Vikings Depth Concerns, and Remembering Siemon & Browner — Darren and Dave discuss the largely quiet NFC North free-agency period, arguing no team clearly improved: Chicago traded DJ Moore to Buffalo and added Devin Bush and Cobe Bryant but lost key turnover-producing defenders and center Drew Dalman; Green Bay mostly sat out, losing major contributors and adding Zaire Franklin and Skyy Moore plus former Viking Javon Hargrave; Detroit made modest, low-risk moves like Isaiah Pacheco, Cade Mays, Greg Dortch, Roger McCreary, and D.J. Wonnum while facing a major hole if LT Taylor Decker departs. They say the Vikings’ biggest move was signing Kyler Murray cheaply, making the division a 2026 “dogfight.” They then highlight Minnesota’s thin depth at several positions and the need to hit on 2026 draft picks, note a bid to host the 2028 NFL Draft, discuss possible preseason streaming rights, and pay tribute to deceased Vikings Jeff Siemon and Joey Browner.
