The Minnesota Vikings can never have enough options when it comes to the secondary. Even though cornerback isn’t glaring need, as always it will be one that is looked at come free agency in 2019.
Injuries took a toll on the Minnesota Vikings secondary in 2018, with Mike Hughes tearing his ACL and Xavier Rhodes never really being 100 percent during the season. So while cornerback might not be the biggest need for the Vikings this year, don’t be surprised if they add a few bodies for depth who can also push for a spot on the team’s weekly rotation.
Minnesota has one of the deepest groups in the NFL when it comes to the cornerback position. Not only do they have one of the best starting duos in Rhodes and Trae Waynes, but they have depth behind them in Hughes, Mackensie Alexander, and Holton Hill. So when you really look at it, there is only room for maybe one guy to be added to this group.
Yes, there have been rumors about Waynes’ future in Minnesota that could put a big wrinkle in their current cornerback situation. But for now, he is still a part of the Vikings.
Let’s take a quick peak at five cornerbacks that Minnesota could have their eyes on come free agency this year.
