(Vi)Kings of the North - A Minnesota Vikings Franchise story

Franchise Information

I'm running this franchise with a combination of Many different settings, sliders, and concepts from around OS. For starters, I've set up an all 32 team league where I am the coach of every team. I will only be "managing" the Vikings, but have full control over the other teams when needed. I'm using a combination of schnaidt1 Scheme settings and profile setup, found here:

I have my own spin and a few small edits here and there to all of this, but all of the ideas incorporated can be credited to these fine people. The league has been set up so that every team is using the gameplan and playbook designated for them and auto subs are all the same across the board. I'll be starting the Franchise at the current state of the league(Start of the offseason after eagles superbowl win). To achieve this while maintaining 32 team control, I started a new offline league with current nfl rosters, and simmed the season with xp sliders at zero, so that the offseason started with rosters exactly how they should be. Without any further delays, Let's get this thing started!

Minneapolis, MN: After a great 2017 season that saw the Vikings finish at the top of the NFC North, backed by a Championship caliber defense, and an offense that pushed through early injuries and managed to succeed, they still found themselves headed home before a Superbowl appearance. There are a lot of decisions to be made in the coming offseason, which includes 3 potential starting Quarterbacks all with expiring contracts. Just days before the trio hit the open market, Coach Zimmer announced that the team felt it best to leave all their options open, and wouldn't be making any decisions on the position as of yet.

This comes as a bit of a surprise given the importance of the position, but Zimmer wasn't done shocking his audience. In an even bigger surprise announcement, he told the press that the team had agreed on a trade that would send 2017 1st round pick, HB Dalvin Cook, to the 49ers. Zimmer didn't say much about the status of the running back, but one can only assume that things didn't go as planned during his recovery from an early injury that sidelined the back for most of his rookie season. The only comment the team made was that Murray had earned his spot as the starter, and was expected to remain there.

The Vikings set out this offseason to evaluate and repair the offensive line and find their starting QB. Whether or not that's been successful is yet to be determined, but New starters are in place, and the preseason starts this week.

Did you seriously just trade Cook to San Fransisco for draft picks???
