2015 Minnesota Vikings Free Agency: An Early Guide to the Market

Free agency will be the first step for the Minnesota Vikings in their building process with an eye toward the 2015 season.


General manager Rick Spielman and his entire staff kept a relatively low profile a year ago, plucking defensive tackle Linval Joseph, cornerback Captain Munnerlyn and defensive tackle Tom Johnson off the market. The team also welcomed in Corey Wootton, Jasper Brinkley, Vladimir Ducasse and Derek Cox to round out its plunder.


Per OverTheCap.com, Minnesota has just over $10 million of cap space to bank on in 2015. A few cuts to aging, expensive players can free up more space in a hurry.


Few areas of the roster will be off-limits for free-agent consideration. The Vikings will seek upgrades at numerous starting spots on offense and defense, while searching for more depth across the board. Whether they have the money or the inclination to make a splash signing remains to be seen, but Minnesota should at least be active.


The following players are unrestricted free agents the Vikings may go after, considering scheme fit, anticipated cost and future returns from each.
