Minnesota Vikings have clamored for this man before, four years ago during the 2020 NFL Draft.
Now, they’re back in a familiar spot, wanting Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Antoine Winfield Jr. to join the purple team.
Vikings Fans Fall in Love with One Free Agent
The son of a former Viking, Antoine Winfield Sr., the Winfield Jr. could hit open free agency if Tampa Bay doesn’t extend or franchise-tag the 25-year-old. That verdict from the Buccaneers will be rendered in the next six weeks.
Outwardly, the Vikings don’t need another safety — Harrison Smith, Josh Metellus, Camryn Bynum, and Lewis Cine are under contract in 2024.
