Michael Rand: Will Stefon Diggs still be on the Vikings at the start of the 2020 season?

MINNEAPOLIS _ The Twins and Timberwolves pulled off big-time trades in the last week. The Wild very well might do the same soon with the trade deadline two weeks away and its position firmly established as fringe playoff team (at best). Minnesota United has had plenty of offseason action, while WNBA free agents can start signing this week.

In the NFL, though, not much will probably happen for at least another month. The new league year starts on March 18, at which time free agents can sign and players can be traded.
