The Vikings are in a tough spot as they head into the 2020 offseason.
According to Over The Cap, the Vikings are already $11.36 million over the 2020 cap.
Now, the Vikings do have plenty of options to create more cap space. If the Vikings cut ties with Riley Reiff ($8.8 million), Everson Griffen ($13.1 million) and Xavier Rhodes ($8.1 million), that will already free up $30 million.
Griffen’s situation is a little different because his contract will technically be voided because he had six or more sacks last season.
Of course, there are players that the Vikings will try to bring back and there’s a possibility that the team will want to restructure deals with Reiff and Griffen instead of cutting them outright. (There’s not as much hope for Rhodes.)
There’s also safety Anthony Harris, who is an unrestricted free agent after having one of the best seasons among safeties in the league in 2019.
Cornerbacks Trae Waynes and Mackensie Alexander are also unrestricted free agents.
Rick Spielman and Co. have plenty of work in front of them.
