Vikings: 2025 Season & 2026 Offseason
Minnesota finished 9-8 in 2025 and missed the playoffs amid an injury-plagued season for QB J.J. McCarthy. In March 2026 the Vikings signed two-time Pro Bowl QB Kyler Murray to a one-year deal after his release by Arizona, setting up a starting competition; Murray is the presumptive Week 1 starter over McCarthy. The team also retained defensive coordinator Brian Flores.
2025 season: 8-9 · 4th NFC North.
