The NFL trade and deadline has come and gone, and the 2025 Minnesota Vikings remain fully intact.
Sitting at 4-4 through the season’s midpoint, and finally on the other side of a brutal rash of early-season injuries, the Vikings were neither buyers nor sellers before Tuesday’s deadline.
Vikings fans might groan at the team’s lack of aggressiveness, but in retrospect, Minnesota’s quiet approach was easy to see coming.
Team ownership went all-in on this year’s group, approving a massive haul of free agent signings in March, and an overall roster that costs $344 million, per Over the Cap; that’s the highest current figure in the NFL.
