## Resource

The Minnesota Vikings pulled off a masterclass in offseason frugality, spending just $53.73 million—the lowest in the league—while still upgrading their roster with key moves. Despite being $43 million over the cap, they shed deadweight (Jonathan Greenard, Javon Hargrave, Jonathan Allen) and restructured contracts to make room for big names like Kyler Murray and Jauan Jennings. Murray brings veteran QB competition, Jennings fills a WR void, and returning Eric Wilson adds depth. They didn’t just survive—they strategically rebuilt for 2025, aiming to build on last year’s nine-win season without breaking the bank.
