The Minnesota Vikings have 17 players who will soon be entering free agency, and these are five I am fairly sure will be back.

What will the Vikings do this year in free agency? Will they be aggressive in pursuing new players or will they take their normal boring conservative approach?

Before the Vikings can even begin to think about spending money on new talent, they first have to figure out what they’re going to do with their own pending free agents.

The Vikings have 17 players who will become free agents when the new league year begins in March. How many of those 17 will be deemed worthy of returning?

There may be some tough calls for the Vikings when it comes to who they want to bring back and who they are okay letting walk. The five players listed here I don’t believe will be particularly hard calls to make.

All five of these men bring value to the table and are worth bringing back at the appropriate price. And I think all five will be back.
