Bleacher Report compared the Vikings season-by-season performance to a yo-yo — because the team is so up-and-down.
The outlet picked Minnesota as one of the teams that is “destined to disappoint” next season. The Vikings are coming off a year where they went 10-6 in the regular season and won a playoff game.
Here’s some of what Bleacher Report said:
“It’s all a precarious position without bad contracts considering the Vikings got swept by two NFC North opponents last year and went 1-4 against playoff teams. There isn’t a high draft pick or cap space to fuel necessary changes. While Cousins is stable enough statistically, it always seems like he could do more given the talent surrounding him (such as Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen).”
I’ll say this about the cap space: Minnesota can cut some players and be good enough on the cap to sign rookies and maybe even a free agent or two. We’re going to have to wait and see whether this team proves the doubters wrong or not.
