MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Vikings made no secret of the fact that fixing their offensive line was the top priority of their 2017 offseason. The same item topped their to-do list during the 2016 offseason, as well, which might help explain why the Vikings were even more willing to open their checkbook to fix the position this year.
But even after giving Alex Boone a four-year, $26.8 million deal last year and guaranteeing a combined $36.8 million to Riley Reiff and Mike Remmers this spring, the Vikings could remain in the market for help along their offensive front for one good reason: They haven't invested in their future.
