As the powers that be begin arriving in Indianapolis for the NFL Scouting Combine this week the first pieces of steam that are emerging from the hotel bars and hallways of Lucas Oil Stadium involve your Minnesota Vikings.

Early word from multiple angles tells us that after the Vikings have opted to pass on tagging quarterback Case Keenum with the franchise tag, they are expected to be big time players in the conversation for former Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins.

Ahhh, it's going to be an interesting week in Indy and an interesting month leading up to free agency's negotiating window on March 12th.
