It’s easy to forget how busy the 2018 offseason was for the Minnesota Vikings. In a span of just a few months the team hired a new offensive coordinator, signed a franchise quarterback in free agency, moved into a new headquarters, tragically lost a beloved position coach and also handed out some hefty contract extensions to deserving veterans. Maybe that’s why this offseason seemed a little “quiet” to the average fan.
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).
