INDIANAPOLIS: Conversation is the NFL Combine’s lifeblood. Whether it is at any of the several steakhouses around downtown, the Starbucks inside the JW Marriott, or the fifteen-minute walk to the Indiana Convention Centre, a tonne of information is shared during the yearly trip to Indianapolis.

The Vikings’ main topic of conversation was Kirk Cousins’ future. Will he tender his resignation? Will he do a market test? The NFL as a whole seems to be waiting for the final domino to fall before moving forward.

That was not, however, the only conversation the Vikings had; many other subjects were discussed as well. Here are a few notes that the Vikings have from the Indianapolis NFL Combine:

Was it a surprise that Brian Flores did not get a look?

Head coach Kevin O’Connell is not taking the return of defensive coordinator Brian Flores to the coaching staff lightly.

Despite this, O’Connell said that, given the abundance of head coaching openings throughout the league last month, he was taken aback that Flores did not receive interviews requests.

“Perhaps some slips would have been turned in,” O’Connell remarked. “Never materialised.”

It is not as though Flores was trying to get away.
