In the latest episode of Two Old Bloggers, Darren Campbell and Dave Stefano dissect the Minnesota Vikings’ turbulent offseason following the 2025 season. As a Vikings 1st & SKOL production, the show explores critical topics like Jordan Addison’s repeated off-field issues, Brian Flores’ head coaching interviews, J.J. McCarthy’s uncertain starting role, offensive line coaching shakeups, Will Reichard’s All-Pro recognition, Adam Thielen’s retirement, and a thorough 2026 running backs positional analysis.

Campbell opens on Addison’s casino arrest: “That’s exactly the kind of news that the Vikings did not want to get from Jordan Addison… I think this is probably the last straw.” Stefano echoes, “It’s gonna be interesting to see how this plays out… Times have changed. It’s a big deal.” On Flores, Campbell notes, “If the Vikings were to lose Brian Flores to a head coaching position… that’s something that’s sort of inevitable when you have a really good coordinator.” Regarding McCarthy, he adds, “No commitment to JJ McCarthy to be the starter in 2026 was made… There has to be competition.” Stefano celebrates Chris Kuper’s departure: “I was quite happy over it.” On Reichard, Campbell advises, “Stick stay the course with Will the Thrill because he is the real deal at Kicker.” Thielen’s retirement draws praise: “I have a lot of respect for Adam Thielen… He was a very good player for us.” For RBs, Campbell predicts, “I don’t think there’s any question that Aaron Jones has also played his last game as a Viking,” while eyeing Breece Hall: “Breece Hall would be the guy that I’d be very interested in bringing to the Vikings.”
