The Vikings' offseason additions, including prominent free-agent signings, a trade for offensive line depth, and a league-high 11 draft picks, created some crowded position rooms on the summer's 90-man roster. Here's a look at five likely roster battles to watch this summer.
Offensive linemen Mason Cole vs. Dru Samia
Samia, the 2019 fourth-round pick, faces an uphill battle to keep his roster spot after the Vikings re-signed Dakota Dozier, last year's starting left guard, traded for G/C Mason Cole, and drafted G Wyatt Davis in the third round. The team has typically kept five interior offensive linemen on the 53-man roster, and they've now got five with starting experience plus a valuable rookie in Davis.
