The Minnesota Vikings ended their 2025 season with a win over the Green Bay Packers. A five-game winning streak to finish things, and a 9-8 final record, doesn't mask a lot of questions that are coming for the offseason.
The top two questions as the Vikings move to the offseason are about the future of defensive coordinator Brian Flores, which will be resolved in the coming weeks, and where J.J. McCarthy fits into the plan for 2026 (and beyond).
To be clear, McCarthy will be somewhere in the picture moving toward next season. It's just a matter of who is added to the depth chart around him and where that addition is on the scale of a threat to take the starting job.
