Mar 16, 2020

This year’s NFL offseason is shaping up to be one of the most memorable in recent history. Not only is the world dealing with coronavirus and a near sports shutdown, a new CBA has passed, 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.

Meanwhile, the Vikings’ coaching staff shakeup appears to have been a sign of things to come. As Rick Spielman and company face their most challenging test of the Mike Zimmer era, here’s a summary of their offseason moves. We’ll keep this page updated throughout free agency.
