The 2024 season was a promising one for the Minnesota Vikings, who finished with a 14-3 record and secured the second spot in the NFC North. Despite their rookie quarterback not playing, the team had a chance at the No. 1 seed in the NFC before stumbling in the regular-season finale against the Detroit Lions and suffering a loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the wild-card round of the playoffs.
Head coach Kevin O’Connell and general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah have signed contract extensions, signaling a bright future for the team. The biggest question facing the Vikings is what to do at quarterback, with uncertainty surrounding Sam Darnold’s future with the team. The Vikings have several key free agents and needs at running back, cornerback/safety, and quarterback to address in the offseason.
With ample salary-cap space, the Vikings have the flexibility to make necessary roster moves. Potential cuts could include players like TE Josh Oliver and C Garrett Bradbury to free up cap space for improvements, particularly on the offensive line. In the upcoming draft, the Vikings are expected to target a cornerback like Shavon Revel to bolster their secondary. Addressing the offensive line and adding young talent in the backfield will be key to the team’s success next season regardless of who is under center.
