Do the Minnesota Vikings now have enough talent on their roster to contend for a spot in the Super Bowl during the upcoming 2021 season?

It has been a very busy offseason for the Minnesota Vikings, to say the least, and they just added defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson to the roster, who was with the team in 2018.

On paper, the Vikings look vastly improved over last year, which begs the question – is this team currently a Super Bowl contender?

Despite the cap being decreased by almost $20 million this offseason and Minnesota being very active, the team still has around $14 million left to spend.
