VIKINGS
The Vikings may lose its entire secondary with safeties Camryn Bynum and Theo Jackson set to hit free agency and Harrison Smith contemplating retirement. Cornerbacks Byron Murphy, Stephin Gilmore, and Shaq Griffin are all free agents as well. Minnesota should make it a priority to resign Murphy who had a good year. If they can't do that then Charvarius Ward (SF) should be on their list to call.
Running back Aaron Jones, who had over 1,500 total yards and 7 total touchdowns in 2024 is a free agent. The Vikings and Jones moved his void date closer to free agency so it seems like they are working on resigning him.
The biggest question for Minnesota is do they resign Sam Darnold, tag him for insurance if JJ McCarthy isn't ready, tag him and try and trade him, or let him walk. I don't see the Vikings letting Darnold go for nothing and I don't see them signing him to a multi-year deal. They probably tag him. Darnold and McCarthy can battle for the starting quarterback spot come training camp.
Reminder, Darnold was sacked nine times against the Rams in the wild card round of the playoffs. Minnesota needs to sign interior o-linemen. Options are Trey Smith (KC), Teven Jenkins (Chi), or Brandon Scherff (Jax).
