If a baker’s dozen is 13, then a COVID dozen is eight for the Vikings as they officially hit the […]
This year’s NFL offseason is shaping up to be one of the most memorable in recent history. Not only have CBA talks advanced, the Combine shed light on an incredibly deep wide receiver class and an unprecedented group of quarterbacks including Dak Prescott, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Philip Rivers and Teddy Bridgewater is set to hit free agency. It’s an offseason that has the potential to change the landscape of the NFL.
Adam Zimmer, son of head coach Mike Zimmer, has taken over as the Vikings’ new defensive coordinator. On Jan. 13 Alex Marvez reported Zimmer was a candidate for the position. George Edwards had been the Vikings’ defensive coordinator since 2014. His contract ended after the season.
Between the NFL Combine (February 24th-March 2nd) and the 2020 NFL Draft (April 23rd-25th) comes an important step in every team’s offseason process; the re-signing of internal personnel.Last year the Vikings created headlines during the free agency period by extending wide receiver Adam Thielen. There was also the story of Anthony Barr reneging on his verbal agreement with the New York Jets and returning to Minnesota.
There’s been quite a few changes on the coaching staff since the Vikings’ season ended on Saturday. Kevin Stefanski is now the head coach of the Browns, George Edwards did not have his contract renewed and Jerry Gray has parted ways with the team. All three of them could reportedly join Stefanski in Cleveland along with receivers coach Drew Petzing.

In only four days the Vikings roster will be cut down from 88 players to 53. By 3pm (CST) on Saturday the regular season squad, along with a 10-man practice squad, will be assembled. The team began trimming the fat on Tuesday, releasing cornerback Bene Benwikere and wide receiver Jordan Taylor. With roster cuts soon approaching, let’s take a final look at how the final 53 could unfold.
From the outside looking in, it may have seemed like a quiet offseason for the Vikings. Beyond re-signing Anthony Barr there were no major signings in free agency, the team didn’t lose any superstars and the core personnel remained quite similar to last year. Yet, behind the steel curtain, a lot went down.
The Minnesota Vikings made four transactions in the day leading up to training camp. They waived running back Roc Thomas and added guard Tiano Pupungatoa, then waived safety Micah Abernathy and acquired running back De’Angelo Henderson. Now, a few days into training camp, the team roster sits at an offseason maximum 90 players. To get caught up on who’s all on the team, let’s take a look at the current players that comprise the roster. To make things a little more interesting, I’ve noted which players will become free agents following the season and also added my 53-man projection. The Vikings will trim down the roster to 53 players on August 31st (3pm CST deadline).
