A year ago at this time, the Minnesota Vikings were one of the busiest teams in the NFL as it pertained to free agency, ultimately doling out close to $270 million in contracts, good for the second-highest amount in the league, trailing only the New England Patriots, who spent more than $364 million and subsequently went to the Super Bowl.
The Vikes, of course, weren't nearly as fortunate, ultimately finishing this past campaign at 8-9, and last year's spending spree put them in a bit of a bind in regard to the salary cap heading into this 2026 offseason.
