Which former Minnesota Vikings players could return to the team in 2021?

In 2020, there were a lot of new faces suiting up for the Minnesota Vikings, especially on the defensive side of the ball.

Due to multiple reasons, several longtime Vikings were shown the door last year. With Minnesota failing to qualify for the playoffs in 2020, they might have bitten off more than they could chew with how many veterans were let go.

Perhaps in 2021, the Vikings will take a different approach and add more veteran leadership to their roster. They might even consider bringing back some players that have called Minnesota home within the last few years.

If the Vikings are interested in re-signing some of their former players this offseason, who are some of the guys that could make a return to the purple and gold in 2021?
