T.J. Hockenson and the roster: Purple Access

The latest Purple Access dives into the 53-man roster and Hockenson’s contract

On Thursday morning, the Minnesota Vikings locked up one of their cornerstone pieces by signing tight end T.J. Hockenson to a contract extension that keeps him in Minnesota through 2027.

What does the extension mean for the Vikings long term? Did the Vikings make a mistake and tip their hand during free agency with the signing of Josh Oliver?

The guys also talk about the 53-man roster. There were quite a few interesting takeaways with the initial roster. Why did they only keep eight offensive linemen? Is that a concern? What about keeping six safeties?

All of that and more on the latest episode of Purple Access.
