What was theorized for the Minnesota Vikings offseason free agency plans = Offensive Line.
The reality for the Minnesota Vikings offseason free agency plans to date = Defense.
It should surprise no one remotely familiar with the Vikings organization that the defense-first coach loaded up on defensive personnel to commence the 2021 calendar year. Head coach Mike Zimmer was hired seven years ago to usher in an era of barbaric defense. If 2020 can be conveniently erased from memory, Minnesota’s ownership and its fans have been granted precisely that. Since Zimmer took the reins in 2014, the Vikings rank sixth in the NFL in points allowed.
