An awful lot has been written about Minnesota’s financial situation.
Minnesota is most commonly a team that needs to look under the couch cushions to raise funds, but the Vikings GM currently has the luxury of abundance. Indeed, the cap space is coming in above $18 million, meaning Minnesota finds itself in the 8th-best position in the NFL (which is to say nothing of their 6th-best cap outlook from 2023-25).
The decisions haven’t been easy — many fans found it painful to say goodbye to Eric Kendricks, Adam Thielen, Dalvin Cook, and several other veterans — but Kwesi Adofo-Mensah has diligently put together a cap that’s malleable enough to keep adding talent.
