With the first week of free agency in the National Football League pretty much over and done with, let’s take a look at where the Minnesota Vikings stand in regards to the salary cap.
According to the folks at Over the Cap, the Vikings are currently sitting on $14,290,052 in available salary cap space. That means they aren’t dead last in the NFL in cap space anymore. Hooray! There are actually 11 teams that have less space available under the salary cap than the Vikings do.
Contrary to what we’ve seen from the team over the past couple of years, they have a lot of dead money to account for thanks to trades and player releases.
