Vikings No Nos: Insult to Jordan Addison, Seahawks’ Stupid Request, Rick Spielman to Sam Darnold

no no These are weekly Minnesota Vikings themed products that we do not purchase. It’s a byproduct of it our rumor milland we hope you like it. Here is the 40th batch of Vikings in the history of the series, no no.

No No: Jordan Addison got a pass interference call against the Bears on MNF because he weighed 135 pounds.

Referees flagged Bears CB Tyrique Stevenson in the end zone for pass interference on Jordan Addison on the play in which the Bears’ defensive back pushed Addison to the ground. Most did not discuss the effectiveness of the punishment.

But Stevenson claimed this week that part of the problem with the game was Addison’s weight. He claimed that Addison weighed 135 pounds.

In reality, Addison weighs 175.

“It is difficult to do this job while playing DB in the league. This is an offensive league, so you don’t get the calls. The ball was in the air, so I played. When the ball was in the air I looked back and thought it was 50/50, a little pushing was allowed. But it’s not my fault he’s 135 pounds and he fell,” Stevenson said.

It’s also worth noting that few people bought the 135-pound insult directed at Addison — because Addison doesn’t weigh 135 pounds. This might be Addison’s middle school weight.

Decision: No no no.

No No: Vikings fans shouldn’t buy tickets to the Seahawks game because crowd noise bothers DK Metcalf.

If you’re a Vikings fan planning to join the purple team 16th week match Lumen Field, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf doesn’t want you there.

Those are the words two-time Pro Bowler Metcalf instructs his team’s fans Negative They will be selling their tickets to Vikings fans this week. don’t do thathe says.

“We still need them to come out and support it. I know the first quarter of the game, the second or third play of the game, the game turned crazy. I looked around and there were a lot of Green Bay fans. They did a great job traveling, but to make sure we maintained home-field advantage, we “I hope they don’t sell as many tickets as the 12s do,” Metcalf said WednesdayIt’s four days before the Seahawks face the Vikings.

Last weekend, the Seahawks hosted Minnesota’s arch-nemesis, the Green Bay Packers, and cheese fans invaded the stadium, creating a false home-field advantage at the Seahawks’ home. In short, it angered Metcalf.

“But yeah man, it would mean a lot to get that last one home and finish the season strong so we can play ahead of them again in the play-offs,” Metcalf added.

Vikings fans will buy tickets and be at the game. Metcalf cannot deter the open market.

Decision: No no no.

No No: According to Rick Spielman, the Vikings should keep Sam Darnold and spend big money on an extension.

Spielman worked in Minnesota’s front office from 2006 to 2022 and said last week that the Vikings should keep Darnold through 2025 and beyond using a “bridge quarterback” deal.

Vikings draft JJ McCarthy from Michigan eight months agoHe and Darnold are tentatively expected to start in 2025 while allowing a free agent to walk in March.

“If I were Minnesota, why wouldn’t you keep Sam Darnold? Why not make a potential bridge deal like Baker Mayfield? “A three-year, $100 million deal?” Spielman said on By First Choice podcast.

In reality, Minnesota may not offer Darnold another bridge deal because Darnold can realistically expect to make $40-50 million per season with his next contract. The Vikings don’t have that situation unless they have plans to sign other free agents in the summer of 2025. In fact, re-signing Darnold to a market-value contract would return Minnesota to Kirk Cousins’ era of building a franchise orchestrated by Spielman that resulted in a postseason win.

“He’s a rookie,” Spielman said of McCarthy, who tore his meniscus in August and canceled his entire rookie season. It will start from scratch. This year he did nothing. It doesn’t work. He sits in meetings. He is entering rehab. Maybe he hasn’t done a single thing in rehab since that surgery other than throw the ball away. But he doesn’t practice, so you start over with him.

Spielman concluded: “Look at what Green Bay did with Jordan Love. Look at what Green Bay did with Brett Favre. If you count the next year, his rookie year, Patrick Mahomes was sitting behind Alex Smith. So, if I appoint him for two years, why not?”

McCarthy is the future of the Vikings, and Spielman’s just-go-ahead Darnold musings are Vikings talk of the past.

Decision: No no no.
