The Minnesota Vikings have some tough decisions to make this offseason but which players should be on the top of the list for the team to try to bring back?

One of the hardest parts of building a championship-caliber team is deciding upon the value of players and going their best to keep as many talented individuals as possible on the roster. That is the challenge the Minnesota Vikings will face this offseason.

With the team already projected to be approximately $5 million in the hole when it comes to their salary cap, shifting money around to be able to create contracts for key players will be of paramount importance.

Also, there are some players who just plain won’t have the desire to return to the team. For example, Jayron Kearse has expressed his desire to move on from the team this offseason and seek a team that “appreciates” him more.

Let’s take a look at the unrestricted free agents the Minnesota Vikings have to deal with this offseason and rank them based on the importance to the team for them to return. Please note that restricted and exclusive rights free agents are not included and the free agent’s estimated 2020 salary is not a factor in these rankings.
