It’ll Be Expensive if the Vikings Want Top Free Agent CB
The Minnesota Vikings enter their 2023 offseason with many needs, especially on defense. Defensive coordinator Brian Flores inherits a subpar defensive unit and needs help at multiple spots. Defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson is set to enter free agency, and the Vikings don’t have a competent replacement on the roster.
However, the absence of trustworthy cornerbacks is much more of a problem. Patrick Peterson, Duke Shelley, and Chandon Sullivan all played on one-year deals and will be free agents next week, barring contract extensions from the Vikings. Current starters are Andrew Booth Jr., Cameron Dantzler, and Akayleb Evans, a unit that doesn’t point toward an improved defense.
