7 bold predictions for the Minnesota Vikings 2020 offseason
By Chris Schad
The Minnesota Vikings enter an offseason with plenty of uncertainty and with the need for change, what could happen in the next couple of months?
By most accounts, the 2019 season was a mixed bag for the Minnesota Vikings. On the positive side, the team made a return to the playoffs after missing out a year ago and with an offense that saw the breakout of Dalvin Cook and a strong rebound from Kirk Cousins, there were plenty of things to be positive about regarding a long playoff run.
Unfortunately, the Vikings could not get through the loaded NFC to find their way to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1976, which raised plenty of questions about where this team is headed entering the offseason.
It was just two years ago that the Vikings seemed to be destined to push toward the top of the NFC, but the game moves fast and it feels like Minnesota has been passed by in some facets. With many players trending (or already over) the wrong side of 30, it will be an offseason full of change for the Vikings, which has already started with the departure of several assistants in the hours after their season-ending loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
So what will become of Minnesota in the offseason and what could they look like when they hit the field in 2020?
