Which current members of the 2021 Minnesota Vikings could be entering their last season in purple and gold?

During the last few years, change has become more frequent for the Minnesota Vikings. These days, the experience level of the players on the Vikings‘ roster is certainly lower than head coach Mike Zimmer would prefer.
