In mere days, the Minnesota Vikings will own about $15 million to utilize on free agents. The post-June 1st calendar date hits, and Minnesota’s cap balloons by $7.9 million. While the Vikings depth chart does not outwardly display droves of deficiencies, the team could stand to find some depth. Some spots on the roster — like wide receiver, safety, and arguably cornerback — can be considered paper-thin if an injury besets one of the starters.
Expect the Vikings to use some or all of the cap money as it cannot be “carried over” to 2022.
