As the Minnesota Vikings sit less than a week from the start of free agency, they find themselves in the middle of salary cap purgatory.
With Kirk Cousins $31 million cap hit leading the way, the Vikings have just over $1 million to spend, leaving such familiar names such as Anthony Harris, Everson Griffen, and Trae Waynes free to hit the open market this year.
Of course, Minnesota found themselves in a similar situation last offseason. With the Vikings pressed up against the cap, Rob Brzezinski was lauded for his ability to squeeze the contracts of Anthony Barr, Kyle Rudolph, and Adam Thielen under the salary cap and the team still had money to add Shamar Stephen and Josh Kline in free agency.
