Ever since general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah took over as the Minnesota Vikings general manager, they have been keeping things incredibly fluid with their roster. By doing so, it gives the team ultimate flexibility to build the roster in their image by bringing in new talent or extending players already in the building.
It can also be a detriment. The Vikings currently have $25,833,741 in projected 2024 cap space per Over The Cap, but that can shrink considerably with extensions for players that have a considerable amount of dead money.
As we take a big-picture look at the Vikings heading into the 2023 season, they will have 37 projected free agents after the season.
