Vikings’ free-agency watch: Guards

Under contract:

The Vikings have 2019 starters Josh Kline and Pat Elflein under contract. Elflein is due $1.1 million, while Kline is due just over $6 million.

Dru Samia, who is entering his second season out of Oklahoma, is also in the second year of his rookie contract. He’s set to make $769,279, per Spotrac.

Free agents:

Rashod Hill, a guard/tackle hybrid who made $2 million last season, will be a free agent after four years with the team.

Hill appeared in 15 games last season and has started 16 games over the last three seasons.

Potential Cap Casualties:

There aren’t any obvious candidates, but keep an eye on Elflein. The 2017 third-round pick has been somewhat of a disappointment in his three seasons with the Vikings.

Elflein has a cap hit of just $1.1 million in 2020, but if the Vikings decide they want to move on, they would save more than $800,000.
