As the offseason has progressed, the Vikings have found interesting ways build their team in hopes of a bounce-back 2021.
Just like last season, Minnesota will have to replace veterans with players on rookie contracts. The Vikings selected 11 picks in this year’s draft, many of whom have a chance at a lot of playing time as soon as 2021.
The Vikings have already agreed to terms with seven draftees. But what about the other four? This is a list of those players. Of course, these players not reportedly agreeing to terms yet isn’t dire. Minnesota can still work out deals. It just means that there have been no credible reports of a deal at the time this article was published.
This is an intriguing list, nonetheless. Here it is:
