As Vikings’ new GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah makes his way through his first free agency in that role, it’s been all about the ‘competitive’ part of a competitive rebuild. He’s extended or restructured the contracts of Vikings’ core players- Kirk Cousins, Adam Thielen, and Danielle Hunter. In doing so, he’s freed up salary cap space this year by pushing it into future years to make room for several key additions to help make the Vikings more competitive now. Those additions include Za’Darius Smith, Jesse Davis, Harrison Phillips, Jordan Hicks, Chandon Sullivan, Chris Reed, and Patrick Peterson, parting ways with Michael Pierce who was replaced by Phillips.
