8 quotes from Kevin O’Connell’s trade deadline press conference

O’Connell had plenty to say about the Vikings moves at the trade deadline

The Minnesota Vikings had a very active trade deadline by acquiring quarterback Josh Dobbs from the Arizona Cardinals and trading left guard Ezra Cleveland to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

What they didn’t do was trade Danielle Hunter or acquire a big name at the trade deadline.

As things currently sit, the Vikings are 4-4 with a beeline for a wild card spot and a plausible chance to win the NFC North. That will come down to either fifth-round pick Jaren Hall or Dobbs leading the way.

After the trade deadline, head coach Kevin O’Connell spoke to the media about the direction of the team and where things stand with multiple players.
