A year ago, the Minnesota Vikings were one of the busiest teams in the NFL in regard to free agency, dishing out nearly $270 million in new contracts.
That certainly won't be the case this year, as Minnesota is currently projected to be roughly $40 million over the 2026 cap figure, which means contract restructures and cuts are on the way. It's not that Minnesota won't sign anyone, but one would assume that the bulk of the changes coming to the roster will come via the 2026 NFL Draft.
Now, mock drafts are tricky this time of year, as free agency naturally dictates what a team's biggest needs will be when the draft rolls around in late April.
