It only took 4 games for the Vikings' offseason gamble to backfire badly

The Minnesota Vikings were aggressive in free agency this offseason. The team prioritized improving things in the trenches by making upgrades on the offensive and defensive lines early and often in free agency.

What was interesting was how the Vikings handled the situations with the players they replaced, especially on the offensive line. After being replaced, center Garrett Bradbury, and right guard Ed Ingram were let go this offseason, similar to what happened with Ezra Cleveland previously.

The Minnesota Vikings made some aggressive moves this offseason, and a few of them are aging poorly.

Right now, the Minnesota Vikings likely wish they had guys like Garrett Bradbury, Ed Ingram, Ezra Cleveland, and others who the team moved on from in favor of the current group of starting offensive linemen.
