8 players who should be on the Vikings’ free agency wish list for 2020
By Adam Patrick
If the salary cap was not a factor, which upcoming free agents would the Minnesota Vikings covet the most when the new league year begins in March?
During the 2019 offseason, the Minnesota Vikings didn’t make too much noise on the free-agent market. The Vikings didn’t have a ton of money to spend, but they still managed to re-sign Anthony Barr, add a new starting right guard in Josh Kline, and replace Sheldon Richardson with Shamar Stephen.
With Minnesota’s current salary cap situation in terrible shape (more than $10 million over the limit), it’s hard to imagine them landing any of the top players who will be hitting free agency this year. Obviously, this could change though if the Vikings make a few roster moves during the next few weeks to free up some money.
What if the salary cap didn’t exist though? What if Minnesota were able to sign any free-agent this offseason regardless of how much it would cost?
If this were the case, who are some of the players the Vikings could go after in free agency this year to fill some of the biggest needs on their roster?
