Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson joins the show to explain what it's like having the complete trust from his quarterback, what went wrong for the Vikings last season, and why he's feeling even more confident about success in Year 2 under Kevin O'Connell.

Vikings running back Dalvin Cook will be in recovery mode to kick off the offseason.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Cook had shoulder surgery on Tuesday. Cook has a history of shoulder issues dating back to college and the report indicates that this operation is dealing with an injury he initially suffered in 2019. Cook also appeared on injury reports due to his shoulder in 2021 and 2022.

The shoulder did not keep Cook from appearing in every game for the Vikings in 2022. He ran 264 times for 1,173 yards and eight touchdowns in the regular season. It was his fourth-straight year with at least 1,100 rushing yards. His 15.5 rushing attempts per game were the lowest of that span and he added 39 catches for 295 yards and two touchdowns.

Cook is signed through 2025 and is set to make a base salary of $10.4 million with a cap hit of just over $14.1 million in 2023.
