2025 NFL free agency: Vikings' season didn't end as they hoped, so they fixed what went wrong

It's hard to say a season that started 14-2 was ultimately a disappointment, but the Minnesota Vikings had to feel a little empty at the end.

The Vikings didn't win a division title. They got dominated by the Detroit Lions in the season finale, which decided the NFC North. Then they fell completely flat in a loss to the Los Angeles Rams in a wild-card playoff game.

The lone positive from that disappointment is the Vikings' front office obviously wasn't satisfied. The Vikings weren't happy to see their defense get run through by Jahmyr Gibbs or the offensive line blown apart by the Rams a week later.
