Nine days into NFL free agency, the Minnesota Vikings shaved a list of 28 players (at one time) to nine.
Vikings Free Agency Down to 9 Men
That’s the number of in-house free agents unsigned as of March 19th, and verdicts on some or all should be rendered in the coming weeks.
- RB Cam Akers
- LB Anthony Barr
- DT Sheldon Day
- K Greg Joseph
- DT James Lynch
- G Chris Reed
- IOL Dalton Risner
- DL T.J. Smith
- LB Nick Vigil
The Vikings could, of course, still re-sign any of these players, but reunions may no longer be a priority with free agency entering the middle of Week No. 2. The list of nine could be perceived as one big tongue-in-cheek request for Dalton Risner, an offensive guard who fans absolutely love. Risner joined the Vikings last summer, quickly earning a starter’s job — so much so that general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah traded his teammate Ezra Cleveland to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
