With the salary cap issues that they’re currently looking at, you wouldn’t expect the Minnesota Vikings to be big players in free agency when things kick off in a couple of weeks. However, that hasn’t stopped one major outlet from projecting the purple to sign a player that has given them untold number of fits during his time playing with a division rival.
Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports has the Vikings signing defensive lineman Akiem Hicks away from the Chicago Bears this free agency season. It’s a shorter deal, with Benjamin predicting a one-year, $9 million pact between the two sides.
