The Minnesota Vikings will have approximately $15 million to spend on free agents in about two weeks. June 1st is the date to monitor as the Vikings cap space balloons, enabling the franchise to further fill out its roster.
The most significant need for the depth chart resides on the defensive side of operations. Minnesota currently has a lengthy list of names (Stephen Weatherly, D.J. Wonnum, Patrick Jones II, etc.) for men to play defensive end opposite of Danielle Hunter, but none of them have the pizazz via name recognition that Everson Griffen offered for several years with the Vikings.
