It’s obvious Kwesi Adofo-Mensah doesn’t view CB as a premium place, and with Murphy’s void date being pushed again and sure price ticket of upwards of $20 million AAV, Minnesota retains their franchise tag off the cap and lets him stroll.

Prediction Maker: Henrique Gucciardi
The Vikings gained’t revamp the offensive line. Blake Brandel performed okay when Darrisaw was wholesome, and Bradbury’s expertise could possibly be needed with a younger quarterback in J.J. McCarthy. A proper guard remains to be wanted, however count on the opposite two to stay on the lineup.
