Ohio State

The Vikings are currently sitting with $58M in cap space according to Overthecap.com. They have 18 of their own unrestricted free agents that they could try to bring back. The majority were on minimal or near minimal level deals so they could easily be retained or replaced.

The elephant in the room is what to do at QB? Wil they extend or franchise tag Sam Darnold? If they extend him what will they do with JJ McCarthy? Could they trade McCarthy or are they happy to allow him to continue to develop which is most probable? If they cannot tag Darnold and do not want to pay him $30M plus per season, what QB will they sign to compete with McCarthy? Is Daniel Jones a serious candidate? Will he want to and should he be a backup? This is the first domino to fall.

Once the team decides on the QB for 2025 then they have a lot of areas that need attention. The defensive tackle and cornerback depth charts are barren for returning players under contract. They are going to have to sign some free agents for these positions whether it be in-house players or outside free agents. They also have a fairly large need on the interior offensive line - which is a perennial issue. General Manager Kwesi Adofo- Mensah has a lot of work to do and really has to nail it this offseason.

The team currently only has 5 draft picks - and that's including the likely 3rd round compensatory pick they will get for Kirk Cousins leaving last year. It is going to be difficult to add enough players via the draft without some wheeling and dealing.The Vikings should sign one or two free agent defensive tackles and they should add one in the Draft. Tyleik Williams is 6-3 327. He has appeared in 43 games for Ohio State.

Tyleik Williams is a disruptive IDL prospect with great power at the point of attack. He's a great run defender and potential impact pocket pusher
