The Minnesota Vikings Had a Plan for 2020 Success, But Things Fell Apart

Upon first glance, it appeared as though the Minnesota Vikings took a half-hearted approach to their offseason. Moving on from aging, expensive veterans on defense signalled rebuild, especially since the team also traded star receiver Stefon Diggs to the Bills.

Many of the other moves, though, suggested that Minnesota was gearing up to give 2020 a legit shot. Kirk Cousins was extended, Anthony Harris was signed to the franchise tag, and Dalvin Cook received a hefty contract extension.

Many fans (and writers) were left wondering whether Minnesota had a strong vision/plan. Which one is it? Are they rebuilding or are they giving this a shot?
