The Minnesota Vikings have a lot of free agents in the upcoming free agency period. Besides them, the roster could undergo severe changes in the next two weeks. The organization must be under the salary cap on March 15, when the new league year begins. Currently, the team is roughly $24 million over the cap.
To achieve that, they could release some veterans. Candidates, among others, are linebackers Eric Kendricks, Jordan Hicks, wideout Adam Thielen, and running back Dalvin Cook. Kirk Cousins and his contract will play a big role in the next two weeks. The Vikings could save a lot of cap space by extending his deal, but they could also plan to move on from him after the upcoming season.
