Fox Sports North's Tim Yotter put together an off-season checklist for the Vikings to follow. He says they have to finalize the coaching staff, settle on a QB, fix the offensive line, find starters in the draft and get a new stadium approved.

We look ahead to Thursday (when the Vikings report to camp in Mankato) with a few fine photos from yesterday, courtesty Vikings.com.

As much as the Vikings might want to avoid talking about it, there is no doubt they are in the middle of a rebuilding stage. They made some moves before the start of last season that could pay dividends in the future, and they're aiming for more help via free agency and the draft this off-season.

Five-and-a-half sacks in two games is no small feat. But if anyone can do it, it's the oft-mulleted maven of machismo, Jared Allen. The Vikings defensive end sits at 17-1/2 sacks and will need two stellar showings to surpass Michael Strahan's 2001 total.

These are the words that come to mind when thinking of the Green Bay Packers: Super, Bowl, Champions, Aaron, Rodgers, Touchdowns, Cheeseheads. That's why the Vikings' No. 1 priority Monday night will be stopping the best cheesehead, and Super Bowl MVP, Aaron Rodgers.

The Minnesota Vikings replaced Donovan McNabb Friday by claiming Sage Rosenfels off waivers. Rosenfels played with the Vikings in 2009 before being traded during the 2010 preseason to the Giants. The eleven year veteran will back up Christian Ponder and Joe Webb.
