@steezo999 @MylesGorham85 Ahh so I had in my calculations that Harrison Smith and Jonathan Allen counted as off the roster but they are actually included in the top 51 rule for the time being. But Hekker also wasn't a minimum contract last year, I expect him to get a bit more than that.

The part I’m not sure of with the Vikings here is if the 6M accounts for the 4.2M hold on the Ryan Van Demark offer

A week into the league year, NFL accounting on the 10 teams tightest to the cap ... 1) Bears $213K 2) Panthers $4.57M 3) Giants $5.41M 4) Jaguars $5.90M 5) Vikings $6.10M 6) Dolphins $7.06M 7) Bills $9.77M 8) Cowboys $13.12M 9) Saints $13.12M 10) Chiefs $13.34M

@steezo999 @MylesGorham85 I'm accounting for the Top 51 rule in my calculations.
Although if my baseline number is off, there may be a difference.

@FriesFootball @MylesGorham85 Top51 rule etc... those 2 contracts may just eat just over 3m of space

@MylesGorham85 I definitely fully agree with you that if a trade does happen, I expect the value to be in that range.
This regime so far has done roughly what I expected Kwesi to, with bonus points for being able to keep Jones. If they trade Greenard for that my opinion becomes very negative.
English
@FriesFootball I don’t disagree btw. I’d prefer not to trade him at all but the reports out there have been day 2 picks. I believe he’s worth a 1st+ I’m just trying to view the trade through the speculated lens
English
If the Vikings are gonna trade JG to the Eagles we’ll take pick 54 and a 2027 conditional 5th please and thank you

The Eagles continue to inquire about the Vikings’ Jonathan Greenard and remain in contact with his agent about a potential extension if a deal were to be struck, sources say. Philly is also keeping tabs on the free agent pass rush market after missing out on Trey Hendrickson.

The Vikings have agreed to a restructured contract with TE T.J. Hockenson that saves the team more than $5 million in cap space in 2026.
English
@FriesFootball lol your loony if you think they’ll spend that kind of money this year

My mock free agency for the Vikings has them adding a former Cardinal as the centerpiece of their class.
No, not *that* former Cardinal. Find out who and read an incredibly detailed projection at Wide Left:

With free agency urgently approaching, the Vikings have a ton of decisions to make.
I tried to make the team as competitive as possible while keeping a close eye on the cap in my Mock Free Agency for the team, my latest for Wide Left:

For the record, I wrote this before we learned that the Vikings were scared to compete today.
Anyway, if you want to know what the team SHOULD do in Free Agency, check it out:

"We desperately have to add a QB to start instead of McCarthy because 9-8 wasn't good enough and the team should be winning playoff games. But we're also not willing to do the bare minimum to retain talent."
Which one is it, Vikings? You can't have both.

We’ve heard a lot about how “easy” it would be for the Vikings to get cap compliant, and it is… so long as the Wilfs were willing to pay the cash to restructure contracts. Greenard would’ve been the most sensible one to rework imo. This is a signal the wallet is closed.

Rob Brzezinski I promise it is not that hard to figure out the Vikings' salary cap issues. Here, I even wrote a step-by-step plan for you.

Accounting for cap casualties and impending free agents, the Vikings have a ton of needs heading into the 2026 offseason.
I sorted each position of need, and talked about how the team might go about filling them in part three of my series for Wide Left:
