The Minnesota Vikings have a lot of talent on the roster and could find themselves needing to trade or release some quality players before the 2016 season.

The Minnesota Vikings are a young team with plenty of depth at most positions. However, because of the salary cap, it’s difficult for an NFL team to keep a young, promising squad together. Sometimes, the General Manager has to make difficult decisions, weighing the value of an established player with the hope a draft pick will reap rewards.

Today we look at six offensive players who could see themselves traded this season, either because they are buried on the depth chart, because they are towards end of their career and there is a young, promising player behind them, or simply because their price tag is too high compared to their production.

Check back tomorrow to see which defensive players are in similar situations.
