As hard as it is to believe, there is a somewhat realistic path for the Vikings to hop atop the cap space hierarchy. Currently, they find themselves in the 32nd spot for cap room. It’s a reality that could change in a hurry.
I know, I know: all teams can create cap room. Minnesota’s ability to carve out more room is shared by essentially every other team. The point, folks, is simply to reiterate that the cap isn’t nearly as dire as some believe.
At present, Over the Cap has the Chicago Bears atop the NFL in salary cap space.
