Now, they’ve got another offseason of big decisions, with more money to spend than they’ve had in years.
The NFL set the 2025 salary cap at $279.2 million per team, a record, and an increase of $23.8 million from last season. The Vikings are projected to have around $60 million available.
Twenty-two Vikings players were set to become unrestricted free agents this week. The team is expected to have only four picks in this year’s draft, meaning another active free agency period is likely, and the Vikings again have the quarterback expected to be at the top of the market.
NFL teams can begin negotiating with agents of players with expiring contracts at 11 a.m. Central time on Monday. Contracts cannot be signed until the new league year begins at 3 p.m. on Wednesday.
Minnesota Star Tribune staff writers will update the tracker below throughout the free agent signing period to keep you up to date on player movement in and out of Minnesota.
