Some meaningful contributors of recent Vikings teams left the organization in free agency. Adam Thielen joined the Panthers and will most likely receive passes from the next first-overall pick, while Eric Kendricks signed with the Chargers.
Dalvin Tomlinson signed a huge deal with the Browns, while Patrick Peterson will play in the same division but for the Steelers. Many fans were disappointed when Duke Shelley wasn’t retained. He will face the Vikings in the upcoming season with the Raiders. Most of the mentioned players signed for a lot of money somewhere, and it made sense financially to let them leave the franchise, but one player should’ve been retained, considering the contract he agreed to.
