Saddled with significant salary cap restraints, the Minnesota Vikings have managed to sign six new players and re-sign about a dozen players. It’s actually quite remarkable how much the Vikings have done with so little. Whether the team is improved remains to be seen. The Vikings got a little younger and perhaps a little faster. Doing both was needed. The defense improved simply by swapping Brian Flores for Ed Donatell at defensive coordinator.
The Vikings are sitting just above the salary cap. There are means to create more cap space. They are sure to use those means as another experienced cornerback would be nice. Perhaps an offensive lineman as well. More additions will come through the draft. Until then, here’s a look at the team’s current depth chart.
