6 free-agent wide receivers the Vikings could sign in 2020
By Zack Patraw
The Minnesota Vikings will be looking for another wide receiver this offseason. Who are six free-agent options the team could be interested in?
The Minnesota Vikings have had two quality receivers for what seems like quite some time now with Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen, but they have yet to bring in much depth behind them.
The Vikings selected Laquon Treadwell in the 2016 NFL Draft, but he failed to blossom into what they had hoped for. They also rostered guys like Cordarrelle Patterson, Jarius Wright, and Aldrick Robinson in the past. With Chad Beebe and Bisi Johnson currently rostered, there is some promise there, but maybe they need to look into some of the bigger names this year.
The Vikings’ current cap situation is all but ideal this offseason. They are currently projected to be more than $10 million over the salary cap so you can bet plenty of changes will be coming.
The other big topic is the potential of a Diggs trade. Many might not want to believe it, but there’s a real possibility he is dealt this offseason.
There are a couple of big names that are ready to hit the open market during this year. If Minnesota is going to be able to afford them, their salary cap geniuses are going to have to work their magic like they seem to do every offseason.
So let’s dive into six free-agent receivers that the Vikings should be on the lookout for this offseason
