Vikings’ free-agent watch: WRs

Under contract:

What a top-heavy group this is.

Stars Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs are both under contract for next season (Thielen until 2024 and Diggs until 2023).

Chad Beebe is under contract for $660,000, which would be considered a bargain if only he could stay healthy.

Bisi Johnson will enter the second year of his rookie contract.

Alexander Hollins is under contract but can be cut with no penalty. Davion Davis and Dillon Mitchell were both signed to future contracts before the season.

Free agents:

The Vikings tried to get rid of former first-round bust Laquon Treadwell prior to the 2019 season, but injuries forced them to bring him back.

Maybe the third time’s the charm?

Doubt it. There’s a very low chance Treadwell returns to the Vikings.

In either free agency or the draft, though, this group has to find a third wide receiver.

Potential Cap Casualties:

None that are super significant or likely.

Something to watch next offseason, however, will be Thielen’s contract. Thielen, who will be 31 in 2021, is due $11.6 million in 2021 and the team faces a dead cap penalty of $5.4 million.
