Vikings' depth chart has one glaring hole that could doom 2026

The Minnesota Vikings are approaching a pivotal offseason. They are coming off a five-game winning streak that closed out the 2025 season, and want to ride that momentum into next year. In order to do that and make a strong push to the playoffs, the team has to fill some holes on both sides of the ball.

On offense, the Vikings have to find a competent backup quarterback and one who can push J.J. McCarthy to be the starter.

Minnesota is going to need a new center as Ryan Kelly is a lock to be a cap casualty and probably should hang up the cleats due to his numerous concussions.
