You don’t get the nickname Slick Rick unless you’ve made some nice moves. Minnesota Vikings GM Rick Spielman isn’t beyond reproach, but he’s great at his job.
Money was looking a little thin coming into the year, but Spielman found a way to bring in Dalvin Tomlinson, Patrick Peterson (expect a bounce back year), Nick Vigil, Stephen Weatherly, Mackensie Alexander, Xavier Woods, and, more recently, Everson Griffen. That’s all within the context of the Covid Cap. Rob Brzezinski certainly deserve a ton of credit here; he is, after all, a financial wizard. Spielman, though, is the man in charge, so he’s the one who gets the most praise.
