Super Bowl pick.
Kay Adams is high on the Vikings, in general, and now she has an emphatic recommendation.
That alone turned heads, as prominent NFL analysts don’t usually pick the purple team for such glory.
But Adams is different, and in a separate conversation last week, she also recommended that the Vikings sign former Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander, who is there for the taking on the open market.
Here are the details.
Kay Adams Recommends Jaire Alexander to the Vikings
On The Up and Adams Show last week, Adams discussed landing spots for Alexander, and with a climactic declaration, she rolled with Minnesota as her choice.

<p>“My vote for landing spot, for one, Jaire Alexander, would be the Vikings. Of course, we can do the funniest thing ever here: Go to the Vikings,” <a href=)
Adams urged.
“So much has gone on between him and Minnesota over the years. They need a corner. I talked to Vikings Coach Kevin O’Connell about that being maybe the only thing I don’t love right now, as far as keeping them from winning a Super Bowl. He gets a chance to play the Packers twice a year. I would love Jaire to stay in that division. You just got to join forces with Justin Jefferson and see how that goes.”
Vikings fans saw the recommendation — and obviously agreed. When a Pro Bowl cornerback hits the wire in his career’s prime, heads turn.
No Word Yet on Any Interest from Vikings in Jaire Alexander
When the Packers cut Alexander loose a week and a half ago, the veteran defensive back generated ample buzz. That’s how it goes when a formidable cornerback hits free agency, overall, and especially in June.
demonstrably decried that plan last weekend: “Jaire Alexander to Eagles makes too much sense, but it would lead to inevitable pain for Packers fans. Alexander signing with the Eagles is about as bad as it gets, save for perhaps the Vikings. Philadelphia would have successfully built the secondary that every Packers fan cried out for.”
“We were all there in 2024, pounding the table for the team to draft Cooper DeJean. Gutekunst passed in the first round, and the Eagles astutely traded ahead of the Packers to land him in the second. They also drafted Quinyon Mitchell, another prospect many hoped would end up in Green Bay. Mitchell and DeJean were among the five finalists for the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award.”

<p>The Eagles’ defensive back coach, Christian Parker, also worked on the Packers’ coaching staff during Alexander’s formative seasons.</p>
<p>Boston added, “Now, add in Alexander, a multi-time All-Pro for the Packers? That’s a sickening thought. A starting trio of Alexander, Mitchell, and DeJean is as good as any in football, and it would make Green Bay’s path in the NFC that much tougher. The Eagles have inflicted enough pain on the Packers, don’t you think?”</p>
<p>“And we didn’t even get a tush push ban to make amends. Alexander is still deciding his next move, but joining the rival Eagles makes far too much sense. But, hey, at least it would mean not joining the Vikings? Let’s not put that idea out into the universe.”</p>
<p>A team like the Atlanta Falcons or Carolina Panthers <a href=)
might be the frontrunners if the Vikings or Eagles don’t win the Alexander sweepstakes. The Washington Commanders and Las Vegas Raiders shouldn’t be ruled out either.
