Minnesota Vikings Top Free-Agency Targets at Cornerback

With free agency only a little more than a month away, the Minnesota Vikings will turn their eyes toward help at the cornerback position.


Xavier Rhodes has cemented his place as the No. 1 CB after a breakout sophomore season in 2014. The rest of the group is less than stellar. Neither Captain Munnerlyn nor Josh Robinson could find any level of consistent play and if one played well, the other seemingly struggled and vice versa.


It was only a year ago when the Vikings brought Munnerlyn to town as a free agent. His disappointing season hurts his case to keep the starting role opposite Rhodes, and his salary balloons in 2015 and then increases again in 2016. Minnesota should be looking for contingency plans and more competition at the position.


These six cornerbacks are the best fits into the Minnesota defense. Due to a combination of age and expected salaries that will be through the roof, Darrelle Revis, Chris Harris Jr. and Antonio Cromartie are not included. Minnesota will be looking for some combination of youth and bang for the buck instead.
