It’s time to start looking ahead
Well, the offseason has officially arrived now for the Minnesota Vikings and they will have pick 24 in the 2023 NFL Draft. They will also have some difficult decisions to make on players with huge salary cap hits this upcoming season.
The Vikings could be very bold this offseason and try to trade some established talent for assets toward a rebuild…especially if that talent hasn’t been producing as expected up to this point on the field.
Big moves could be coming and names that have been in Minnesota for many seasons could be on the move as the franchise looks to the future. Fan favorites could be on their way out the door, so it’s time to prepare for it.
With so many changes being made near the top last season, it’s time to clean some house on the roster. The division could be wide open going forward but teams like the Lions and Bears have made bold moves that paid off, so why not the Minnesota Vikings?
