'''Norse Code Episode 277: So we're not trading him?''' was an offseason episode focusing on Kyle Rudolph's contract extension and minicamp observations.<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
The hosts analyzed Kyle Rudolph's 4-year, $36 million extension with the Vikings, discussed observations from minicamp including position battles and standouts, and addressed listener questions about the team's roster construction and various offseason topics.<br />
<br />
== Segments ==<br />
; Opening : Donations acknowledgment<br />
; Rudolph Extended : Analysis of Kyle Rudolph's contract extension details and cap implications<br />
; Tales from Minicamp : O-line organization, DT battle, WR3 battle, and standout players<br />
; Mailbag : Listener questions on roster moves, parenting advice, and offseason topics<br />
<br />
== Mailbag Questions ==<br />
* Kenneth Allen - With Rudolph seemingly staying, what madness can we get up to with two ATHLETIC TE sets?<br />
* Raul - After the Rudolph signing, I assume there will be a lot of odd men out. Who is the even man in: Waynes, Alexander, Weatherly, Harris, Kearse?<br />
* Eddie (dog) - will we sign another no-name TE prior to training camp and if so will that be enough to illicit more "lots of game left" Baywatch pics from Rudolph's instagram<br />
* Roundy Mass - What's more likely - the Twins lose in 3 to the Yankees in the 2019 ALDS or 2019 Vikings lose the 2019 (2020?) NFCCG on a missed kick?<br />
* Damien Barrett - On one of Bill Simmons podcasts, he hosts a "parents corner" slot. Could James also use his wealth of experience to do the same? Arif could offer counter points. As a new parent I need all the help I can get! Follow up question - Should I encourage my new daughter to support the Vikings or point her to support the local team of her birth (the Jets - lol)? Which would be less painful for her in the long term?<br />
* Jonathan Judich - I asked a long time ago but don't recall and answer. BUT! When drinking from a bottle do you drink from it like it is a big straw or a tiny cup?<br />
* Luke Braun - What's Vikings Twitter in the most denial about? Our version of "There Is No Graphite On The Ground" from Chernobyl. What about the Vikings themselves?<br />
* Brad - I fell off my bike, broke a rub, bruised my hip and hit my head. Then the Raptor's started winning in the NBA playoffs. Does this reversal of fortune from my physical health extend to the Viking's too, or does it only affect the Raptors, a team and sport I am disinterested in. Follow up question, what sort of injury do I need to sustain in order to help the Viking's make it into the post season?<br />
* Don From Ohio - Dear Arif and Billy: What do you give a father for Father's Day whose son is a trained cannibal by said father? Dear Arif and Jamiroquai: What is your go to dessert for summer and why? Dear Arif and Bismo Funyuns: Who is your personal pick to be WR3?<br />
<br />
== Key Bits & Lore ==<br />
Don From Ohio appears with multiple questions using various nicknames for James (Billy, Jamiroquai, Bismo Funyuns).<br />
