Free Agency
Rick Spielman, Mike Zimmer and the Vikings entered the free agency period with one goal in mind, rebuild the 28th ranked defense in the NFL during the 2020 season. The first step was to add quality to the trenches and help the struggles with stopping the run, an issue that was displayed on national television on Christmas Day when Saints RB Alvin Kamara scored six rushing touchdowns. The Vikings allowed 52 points and 267 rushing yards to New Orleans in one of the worst defeats in franchise history.
The Vikings scored big with the signing of DT Dalvin Tomlinson, a player who has not reached his peak performance years yet but he is about to which is exactly when you would have to invest in a free agent.
