Sam Bradford, QB:

A decision on Bradford’s future with the Vikings might even be made before the 2017 season even begins. Depending on what Minnesota finds out this offseason regarding Teddy Bridgewater’s chances of ever returning, the team may decide to give Bradford a short-term extension at the least.

The quarterback had the best season of his career in 2016 and a similar type of year in 2017 would all but guarantee a new deal for him with the Vikings (especially if they make the playoffs).

But there is also the chance that Bradford could reject any type of contract offer from the team and choose to play for an organization outside of Minnesota after this upcoming season. In just one year, the Vikings quarterback situation could be in shambles.
