The Minnesota Vikings have one of the best rosters in the NFL, but will they in 2025? So many players are set to become free agents for the Vikings that it would lead us to believe this team looks very different in terms of depth in 2025.
How many key players are set to be free agents for the Vikings though this offseason?
Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and his front office are going to need to spend some money to keep some key pieces who are free agents, specifically the safety duo of Camryn Bynum and Theo Jackson. If Harrison Smith retires, their return becomes that much more important.
Outside of them, though, here are all the Vikings looming free agents.
