It is in such high demand, one farmer is on a months-long wait list to get one. 'It's like liquid gold'While Central Texas is starting to see rain here and there, it hasn't been enough to get Kathleen Mooney's well up and running again.

Source: Vikings trade offensive tackle Vederian Lowe to Patriots

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:38:13 GMT

Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah started wheeling and dealing on Sunday, flipping offensive tackle Vederian Lowe to the New England Patriots.A source confirmed the deal to the Pioneer Press. In return, the Vikings will reportedly get a sixth-round pick from the Patriots.Though this trade won’t do much to move the needle, it’s significant in the sense that Lowe had served as the immediate backup to left tackle Christian Darrisaw throughout training camp.That puts even more pressure on offensive tackle Oli Udoh, who will likely back up both Darrisaw and right tackle Brian O’Neill now that Lowe is on the move. There’s also a chance offensive guard Blake Brandel could play either position in a pinch considering he’s done it in the past.This will be a fresh start for Lowe after the Vikings selected him in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He played in one game as a rookie, getting the nod in the season finale with the Vikings resting most of t...
