Throughout the early portions of the NFL offseason, we here at PurplePTSD had one free agent on our minds for the Vikings more than any other: CB Cam Sutton. With both Patrick Peterson and Duke Shelley hitting free agency this offseason, and the Vikings cutting Cameron Dantzler, adding a veteran cornerback seemed imperative in free agency.
That, along with the hire of Brian Flores as defensive coordinator, who spent the 2022 season in Pittsburgh with Sutton, made the former Steeler an obvious option for the Vikings this offseason. However, a mere hour and a half after the start of the negotiation period, that dream is already dead.
