Which former Minnesota Vikings players could help this season’s team earn a spot in the playoffs?

This past offseason was really the first one since Mike Zimmer was hired to be the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings in 2014 that the team had to say goodbye to a bunch of notable contributors.

Minnesota’s roster still features a number of familiar faces including Adam Thielen, Kyle Rudolph, Dalvin Cook, Harrison Smith, and Eric Kendricks. But the Vikings had to fill a bunch of their roster holes this year with guys who don’t have a ton of experience and it has definitely had an effect on the performance of the team.
