Vikings' long-term strategy full of tough decisions ahead

EAGAN, Minn. -- The theme for the 2018 Minnesota Vikings? On to the next one.

Minutes after Kirk Cousins was introduced in March after signing his record-setting $84 million deal, Vikings general manager Rick Spielman was back in the office of vice president of football operations Rob Brzezinski -- more commonly known as the team's salary cap wizard -- working to restructure Latavius Murray's contract. Less than 24 hours later, Minnesota signed defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson.

After locking up Danielle Hunter in June for the remainder of his early prime, the Vikings tackled the next priority on their to-do list.
