The Minnesota Vikings’ offseason mission will eventually turn its focus toward acquiring additional talent, but first, general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and the decision-makers atop the organization must decide which pending 2024 free agents the Vikings will re-sign for next year’s roster.

That’s no small task. There are 27 players from the Minnesota Vikings 2023 roster set to enter free agency this offseason. For all intensive purposes, that’s half of a 53-man roster. It’s important to remember, however, that most of those players are not what most fans would consider make or break for the outlook of next season.

Some most certainly are, though. And the more of those key expiring contract they lose, the more difficult it will be for the Vikings to force themselves back into the playoffs one year from now. So if winning is the goal, here are six players Kwesi & Co must re-sign this offseason.
