The Minnesota Vikings have made significant moves in free agency, strengthening both their offensive line and defensive front. However, they still need to add a veteran quarterback and could benefit from upgrades or depth at positions like wide receiver, safety, and cornerback.
While many of their recent signings have been made without in-person visits, some free agents have stopped by TCO Performance Center. Today, head coach Kevin O’Connell and his staff are hosting former top-three draft pick Jeff Okudah for a visit.
Okudah’s visit in Eagan comes exactly one week after reports surfaced about Commanders defensive tackle Jonathan Allen visiting the facility at the start of the NFL negotiating period. Allen reached an agreement with the Vikings the following morning and has since signed his contract.
Rondale Moore visiting rival Chicago Bears
However, not every visit has resulted in a successful signing like Allen’s. Late last week, the Minnesota Vikings shared on social media that 25-year-old speedy wide receiver Rondale Moore had visited the team.
Unfortunately, the potential WR3 upgrade departed without reaching an agreement, and there has been little discussion about a possible deal since. To make matters worse, Ian Rapoport reported on Monday morning that Moore is now visiting the division rival Chicago Bears.

Originally a second-round pick by the Arizona Cardinals, Rondale Moore is now a free agent after four seasons in the league. In 2023, he appeared in all 17 games, starting eight, and has accumulated 1,201 yards and three touchdowns over 39 career games. After being traded to Atlanta, Moore missed the 2024 season due to a knee injury sustained in August.
