NFL Franchise Notes: Vikings Hold Season-Ticket Prices Steady For '15 Season

ESPN.com’s Ben Goessling reported the Vikings “plan to hold season-ticket prices steady for their second season at TCF Bank Stadium.” The flat rates for ’15 “mean the top ticket price will stay at $1,390, or an average of $139 per contest across the 10-game package.” The team’s “lowest season-ticket price is $350, or $35 per game” (ESPN.com, 1/23).

CAMP BOW WOW: In Cleveland, Mary Kay Cabot noted Browns Owner Jimmy Haslam III “will take his top club lieutenants” for a three-day meeting this week to “make sure everyone’s pulling the rope in the same direction, and it couldn’t come at a better time.” There is a “perception in the league that the Browns are dysfunctional” at team HQ and it is “time for Haslam to assemble his top brass and determine if it’s true, or if they perhaps just need to air some things out and keep forging on.” The “team-building session” will include Haslam, President Alec Scheiner, GM Ray Farmer, coach Mike Pettine and Exec VP & General Counsel Sashi Brown (Cleveland PLAIN DEALER, 1/25).

WHO’S MAKING THE CALL? In Philadelphia, Jeff McLane noted Eagles Exec VP/Football Operations Howie Roseman is “supposed to remain in charge of the salary cap and contracts” after Owner Jeffrey Lurie gave coach Chip Kelly “complete control over personnel.” However, “more than a half-dozen agents who have Eagles with possible contract situations this offseason said they weren’t sure who would be handling negotiations.” Eagles Dir of Football Administration Jake Rosenberg “had been mostly managing the cap before the front-office shake-up.” Eagles players said that Kelly “recently gave them his phone number so they could contact him now that he oversees personnel” (PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, 1/25).
