What happened: Te'o said the Vikings must “earn your right to win” after choosing Kyler Murray to lead the offense.
Why it matters: The decision settles Minnesota's quarterback competition before Week 1. Murray's contract limits the team's financial risk as it turns the 2026 offense over to a veteran.
By the numbers: Murray will earn a $1.3 million minimum salary while $36.8 million remains owed to him this season.
What to watch: Murray's preseason work will offer the first look at the offense under its new starter.
