The Minnesota Vikings offseason continues to get… weird. On this episode of The Viking Age Podcast, we dive into the latest buzz surrounding the Vikings’ ongoing GM search and what the team really means when they say they want a “leader.” Is Minnesota looking for a true decision-maker — or just someone to align with Kevin O’Connell? Plus, we break down the growing “Thiene-Mania” taking over mock drafts. Why does it feel like everyone is projecting Dylan Thieneman to the Vikings? Is there actually something there, or is this just classic draft groupthink? We also touch on: - The likelihood of Rob Brzezinski becoming the next GM - Whether the Vikings could trade back in the draft - Other roster needs being ignored in mock drafts - And yes… a little WrestleMania talk because the Vikings haven’t done anything notable recently Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
