Although several Vikings players have been working out at Winter Park in recent weeks, the teams offseason conditioning program officially will start on Monday. NFL rules allowed teams to begin such workouts two weeks ago the Chicago Bears already have had a minicamp but coach Brad Childress decided he wanted to get his players some additional rest. The offseason program will lead into the Organized Team Activities in May and June, as well as a minicamp in late May. Im always glad to see faces back in the building because youre getting better and youre doing all the team building that occurs with the offseason, Childress said. I know guys will be coming and going. There will be people that are here and arent here. Thats their perogative. But I think there are a lot of good things we can get done in the offseason.
