There are some free agents who have previously been linked to the Minnesota Vikings coaching staff who could be interesting additions to the team.

On March 17 at 3:00 pm CT, free agents can officially sign with teams. That means new faces will be coming to many franchises around the league, including the Minnesota Vikings, in the hope of making their way to the Super Bowl.

Some of the available free agents have previously played for the purple and gold. While bringing back a player like Everson Griffen, Cordarrelle Patterson, or Jayron Kearse would be interesting additions to the 2021 roster, there are other players with connections to the team who could help to get the team over the hump and back into the postseason.

Now that Minnesota has a little bit of salary cap room, they could be able to ink a deal with some budget-friendly players. The Vikings do have an advantage when evaluating some of the individuals because there is already a connection between them and the team’s coaching staff.

Let’s take a look at four players in free agency who already have some kind of link to the Minnesota Vikings staff that might help the purple and gold sign with them in free agency while not breaking the bank
