The Minnesota Vikings are set to watch close to 20 players hit free agency this March, a list that includes legendary safety Harrison Smith, who seems likely to retire, and popular wide receiver Adam Thielen, who may or may not join Smith in retirement but doesn't seem likely to return.
Third-string running back Ty Chandler, who has been on injured reserve since suffering a knee injury in the Vikings' Week 1 win over the Chicago Bears, is likely also out the door, and wideout Jalen Nailor may end up having to find a new home as well if Minnesota signs Jordan Addison to a lucrative long-term extension.
