The Vikings are projected to have just $5.3 million in cap space per Over The Cap.
This is before any likely cap casualties, but still, that’s not a lot of cash.
ESPN recently ranked how active each team will be in free agency in the Vikings were in the “not as active as fans might hope” category.
This makes sense considering how difficult it would be for the Vikings to make a big move.
Here’s what Courtney Cronin wrote about the Vikings:
If Minnesota wants to go after an offensive lineman in free agency, franchise Anthony Barr, pay Sheldon Richardson or even consider offering Adam Thielen a new deal this offseason, it will have to get creative with how it goes about moving money around.
I’d expect the Vikings to rely on low-level free agents and the draft to fill needs this offseason. Not as flashy as free agency, but just as important.
