For the Minnesota Vikings, there is a lot to choose from when it comes to red flags for next season.
From the offensive line to the defensive line, there are players who were key contributors during 2019-20, who will likely no longer be with the team next season. But Bleacher Report thinks the biggest red flag for the Vikings is at cornerback.
Bleacher Report mentioned the loss of Xavier Rhodes, who reportedly signed with the Colts, and Trae Waynes, who reportedly signed with the Bengals, in free agency. The outlet also said this:
“Minnesota’s starting cornerbacks right now are Mike Hughes and Nate Meadors. That’s not going to get Minnesota past Green Bay in the NFC North—much less past Drew Brees and the Saints or Jimmy Garoppolo and the 49ers in the NFC.”
Rhodes isn’t totally a big loss, but Waynes will be hard to replace. Hopefully the team can draft solid cornerbacks, in addition to Hughes, Meadors and Holton Hill playing well and staying on the field in 2020-21.
