7 Vikings players who definitely won't be back for the 2026 season

For the Minnesota Vikings, the 2025 season didn't come anywhere close to meeting the expectations that the team had heading into their Week 1 matchup with the Chicago Bears back in September.

After winning 14 games last season, most assumed the Vikings would at least find a way to sneak back into the playoffs in 2025. But that isn't what happened, and now Minnesota has the next several months to figure out what they need to do in order to make sure they get back to the postseason in 2026.

A large priority for the Vikings this offseason will have to do with sorting out their salary cap situation.
