On Monday, the full details of Anthony Barr’s contractual restructure hit the light of day, and the glimmers indicated that the Vikings have more free-agent money available than was once believed.
That is a big deal for a team that has gaping roster holes at both offensive guard positions.
Indeed, the Vikings have slightly over $10 million in cap space per OverTheCap.com. With this “newfound” sum of cash, general manager Rick Spielman can address the aforementioned guard spots, acquire a bonafide starting defensive end, fill the safety position opposite Harrison Smith, ink a WR3, extend an allegedly disgruntled Danielle Hunter, bring back Eric Wilson, or save the money for the heck of it (unlikely).
