The Minnesota Vikings will have a much different look to start the 2025 campaign than they did a season ago, as they lost a plethora of players in free agency, a list that includes the likes of quarterback Sam Darnold (Seattle Seahawks), safety Camyrn Bynum (Indianapolis Colts), linebacker Patrick Jones II (Carolina Panthers), and center Garrett Bradbury (New England Patriots) among others.
Thankfully, Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah took an aggressive approach in replacing these players, signing roughly a dozen new names to the active roster while also re-signing cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. to a lucrative three-year, $54 million extension.
