Minnesota Vikings free-agency overview: Pass-rushers, O-line help needed

The Minnesota Vikings enter 2021 NFL free agency coming off a 7-9 season in 2020 and have 11 unrestricted free agents.

Coach Mike Zimmer said one of his priorities this offseason is to get more pass-rushers after the Vikings notched a franchise-low 23 sacks last season. Minnesota's defense will continue its process of retooling with a heavy focus on the defensive line and secondary, but the offensive line could be their jumping off point in free agency.

Here's what to expect from the Vikings when the NFL offseason hits high gear with the start of free agency on March 17:

QUARTERBACK

Under contract: Kirk Cousins, Jake Browning, Nate Stanley

UFA: Sean Mannion
