After a busy offseason for the Minnesota Vikings that included moving into a new headquarters, landing two prolific free agents, losing an offensive lineman to a season-ending injury, trading for a center, dishing out extensions and going 3-1 in the preseason, it’s finally time to set the regular season roster.
