The Minnesota Vikings entered the offseason with many uncertainties. Some expected a huge roster turnover. Even the word rebuild was used. About one week into free agency, it became clear that the Vikings planned to keep the roster together with some new reinforcements. It’s a franchise that actually wants to compete in 2023.
Four external players have been signed so far. Josh Oliver, a tight end with upside, was the first, followed by edge rusher Marcus Davenport. He struggled with injuries in his career but could be a bargain if healthy. Cornerback Byron Murphy was a great signing for the purple team, as the coverage unit has been a disaster for quite some time.
