Which former members of the Minnesota Vikings will the team miss the most and which ones will they be fine without during the 2023 season?

This offseason, we have seen a number of notable players part ways with the Minnesota Vikings. Some of these departures featured players that had been with the Vikings for an entire decade like wide receiver Adam Thielen, while others moved on from the franchise after just one year in purple and gold.

Despite winning 13 games in 2022, Minnesota has made some significant changes to their roster this offseason. But the Vikings clearly felt that these changes were necessary in order to be consistently successful for a long period of time.

The majority of the players that left the Vikings this offseason likely aren’t going to be missed by the team during the 2023 campaign. But then there are also a few guys who moved on from Minnesota this year that the team might be kicking themselves for letting get away.

Of all the roster departures this offseason, who are some of the players the Vikings will be fine without, and who are some of the guys that they will likely miss in 2023?
