The Minnesota Vikings face a crucial offseason with significant decisions ahead, particularly at the quarterback position. The team must decide whether to keep Sam Darnold, who had a notable season, or hand over the reins to J.J. McCarthy, poised to return from injury. Beyond the quarterback situation, the Vikings need to address their weak secondary, having allowed the fifth-most passing yards last season. Key free agents include cornerbacks Byron Murphy Jr., Shaquill Griffin, and Stephon Gilmore. DJ Reed, a free agent cornerback from the New York Jets, has been identified as a top target, potentially strengthening the Vikings' pass defense.
