Vikings Retain a Couple of Important Special Teamers

The Vikings agreed to terms with a couple of outside free agents on Monday, the first day of free agency. Tight end Josh Oliver and edge rusher Marcus Davenport joined the purple team for the 2023 season.

Both didn’t have productive seasons in 2022 according to the stat sheets but are much better than those numbers indicate. Oliver is an elite blocker, which will especially help the struggling Vikings running game, and Davenport is a freak athlete with outstanding potential. He just has to stay healthy for a full season.
