The Vikings struck gold with a group of free agents on one-year deals in 2024, making up for a lack of draft pick contributions and winning 14 games in a season where oddsmakers projected they would win only seven.

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.

In the opening days of free agency, the Vikings re-signed running back Aaron Jones and cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. They lost three quarterbacks: Sam Darnold, Daniel Jones and Nick Mullens. And they bolstered their offensive and defensive lines with guard Will Fries and center Ryan Kelly and defensive tackles Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave.

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.
