The player that should be the Vikings’ top target is about to hit free agency

We’re just about a week away from the start of free agency, and a player whose talent intersects perfectly with one of the Minnesota Vikings’ biggest needs is about to hit the market without restrictions.

Our friends from The Phinsider are reporting that the Miami Dolphins will not be placing the franchise tag on defensive lineman Christian Wilkins before tomorrow’s 3:00 PM Central deadline for doing so, meaning that he will be an unrestricted free agent.

Wilkins was the Dolphins’ first-round pick (#13 overall) in the 2019 NFL Draft out of Clemson.
