Mark Craig of the Minneapolis Star Tribune writes that impending free agent OLB Erin Henderson may not want to re-sign with the Vikings next season given that they were unwilling to offer him a long-term agreement last year.
The Vikings will have three linebackers to address during the offseason including Henderson, Jasper Brinkley and Marvin Mitchell.
Henderson and Brinkley are both serviceable players that are worth consideration for being re-signed. Although Henderson excels against the run, he struggles mightily in coverage, so it’s not as though he’s going to command a huge deal on the open market. On top of that, he may want a change of scenery, so the Vikings could be forced to address the position during the draft.
Craig mentions that inside linebackers such as Manti Te’o, Alec Ogletree and Kevin Minter could be potential options for Minnesota’s first-round pick.

I'm not sure about this. The part about using first pick for LB.
They should keep Henderson and Brinkley.
They need DT, WR and more depth at DB. IMO.
I think they also need to make sure Loadholt stays too.

With free agency right around the corner, NFL Rumors are heating up for nearly every franchise. The Minnesota Vikings don’t figure to make a whole lot of noise with big signings, but they do have some needs to address. Arguably the biggest concern to address in free agency is the backup quarterback spot. Joe Webb‘s future with the team is uncertain after coach Leslie Frazier acknowledged the team is open to bringing in a veteran quarterback.
Let’s be clear, Christian Ponder is the starter for Vikings heading into 2013, but the competition for his backup spot is wide open.
Personally, I’d rather see the team bring in a veteran rather than draft another young QB. The free agent market is not spectacular when it comes to QBs this season, but a player that fits the bill is Matt Moore.
Moore has spent the past two years with the Miami Dolphins, and given their QB situation, it’s unlikely he’ll re-sign to play in South Beach.
He’s is affordable (likely $2.5 million/year), and he’s experienced. Moore is the kind of guy who could actually compete for the starting job on a lot of teams. That won’t be the case in Minnesota, but I think Ponder will be on a short leash in 2013. There’s a good chance if he doesn’t improve from last year that Moore would get a shot to run the team.
For his career Moore has completed 59.1% of his passes for 5,268 yards, with 33 touchdowns and 26 interceptions. In total he’s started 25 games in five seasons. All in all, he’s got a very solid resume and would fill the backup role for the Vikings perfectly.
The main problem I see is that he may want to go to a team with more uncertainty at QB to try and win a starting job. He knows that he’ll at least be the backup to start in season in Minnesota, and at best he’d get a shot midway through the season to start.
We’ll see what direction the Vikings go in, but as far as I see it, Moore is at the top of the list of available backups. As of now, Minnesota is not rumored to specifically be targeting anyone, but they are indeed evaluating the backup quarterback position.

ST. PAUL, Minn. — Kyle Rudolph's breakthrough season has earned him a trip to the Pro Bowl.
Rudolph, the Minnesota Vikings' second-year tight end, was named to the NFC team on Tuesday, replacing the Atlanta Falcons' Tony Gonzalez, who won't play because of an injury.
Rudolph was Minnesota's second-round pick in 2011 and developed into one of the top receiving options for the Vikings. He set career highs across the board as the No. 1 tight end and was second on the team with 53 catches and 493 receiving yards.
Rudolph caught a team-high nine touchdown passes, which tied for the most among NFC tight ends. It was the second-highest total by a tight end in team history. Visanthe Shiancoe caught 11 touchdown passes in 2009.
Rudolph is the first Vikings tight end to make the Pro Bowl since Byron Chamberlain in 2001. He joins teammates Jared Allen, Jerome Felton, Chad Greenway, Adrian Peterson and Blair Walsh on the NFC team.
