To say the Minnesota Vikings will look a little different in 2025 would be a massive understatement, as the team went through a whirlwind of an offseason.
As expected, the Vikes lost several key contributors who helped them to a 14-3 regular-season record in 2024, most notably quarterback Sam Darnold, who stepped up when first-round pick J.J. McCarthy went down and made the most of his one-year contract by having the best campaign of his career, which helped him earn a three-year, $100.5 million deal with the Seattle Seahawks.
Also not returning in 2025 is a list that includes center Garrett Bradbury, safety Camryn Bynum, linebacker Patrick Jones, short-term left tackle Cam Robinson, cornerbacks Stephon Gilmore and Shaquill Griffin, and backup running back Cam Akers, among others.
