Vikings hired ex-Titans DC Jerry Gray as their defensive backs coach.
Gray, 51, has plenty of coordinating experience, though it was a bit of a rocky road the past three seasons in Tennessee. He was also the Bills DC from 2001-2005. With Gray's hiring, ESPN Vikings blogger Ben Goessling thinks it's "safe to say" Minnesota will show some interest in Titans free agent CB Alterraun Verner.

Owner Mark Wilf confirmed that the Vikings will begin contract extension talks with coach Leslie Frazier.
Frazier won't have to enter the 2013 season as a lame duck after improving from 3-13 to 10-6 in his second year as head coach. "We feel we made a lot of great strides in 2012," said Wilf. "It was a great season, obviously a disappointing ending. But we feel we have a foundation and a strong core for the future here." It helps that Frazier enjoys a strong relationship with GM Rick Spielman.

ESPN 1500 Twin Cities believes it is "only a matter of time" before Vikings coach Leslie Frazier signs a contract extension.
Frazier is signed through only 2013, but will undoubtedly be re-upped. The Vikings entered 2012 as the consensus fourth-place team in the NFC North, but are now just a win over the Packers away from their first playoff appearance since the 2009 season. Frazier's defense is 11th in points against (20.9), and 16th in yards allowed (346.3). If not for quarterback Christian Ponder's inconsistent play, the Vikings could have perhaps been going for their 11th or 12th win on Sunday.

Vikings media relations director Bob Hagan insists there is "no truth" to the New York Post report that the team essentially gave Bill Parcells a blank check to take over football operations.
Previous reports suggest the Vikings did have serious interest in Parcells at one time, but the embers died out when their fervor went unrequited. Parcells' camp then took that former interest to the Post in an attempt at leverage over the Saints, only to end up with egg on the face.

Adrian Peterson
Sidelined
ESPN's Ben Goessling believes Adrian Peterson could be used in more passing situations this season.
The Vikings don't have a third-down back after losing Toby Gerhart, so Peterson is a candidate to take on a bigger workload in the receiving game. Peterson has just 69 catches and 388 yards combined the last two seasons and is rarely used in pass protection, so it's not an ideal role. Minnesota is expected to target a running back in the middle rounds of the draft to replace Gerhart. One of Matt Asiata, Zach Line, and Bradley Randle will likely end up as the No. 3 back.

Kyle Rudolph
Sidelined
The Vikings have not approached TE Kyle Rudolph about a contract extension.
It looks like the Vikes are prepared to let Rudolph play out his contract year. That could prove to be expensive, as we're expecting him to have a career season now that his foot is healed and he's playing in Norv Turner's tight end friendly offense. Rudolph is going to have a chance to put his underrated athleticism on display.
