At 6-9 with a game to play in the 2014 season, the Minnesota Vikings would like to believe they are a team on the rise heading toward the 2015 season and beyond.
What's clear after one season under first-year head coach Mike Zimmer is that the roster is still a work in progress.
Zimmer came to the Vikings as a heralded defensive mind, and he's worked wonders with a unit that ranked 31st in the league in 2013. Minnesota is coming off its worst defensive game of the year against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, but it still ranks 16th in the league in overall defense and is a top-10 defense against the pass.
As far as the defense has come, it still has a ways to go in order to be one of the best in the league.
Offensively, Minnesota was a mess for most of the season. Playing without its best player in Adrian Peterson and handing the quarterback job to a rookie in Week 4 were less-than-ideal situations. Having said that, the receiving corps and offensive line are both in need of new blood.
So what are some changes to look forward to heading into 2015? Here are five roster moves that will help bolster the Vikings roster.
