The Minnesota Vikings are stirring things up this offseason with a mix of draft looks,

free agency tweaks, and internal promotions.

They're hosting a running back with elite speed for a visit ahead of the 2026 NFL draft,

aiming to boost their backfield depth.

It's a smart play, since speed can change games in the league.

Meanwhile, after a quiet start to free agency, the team signed a restricted free agent from Buffalo,

a big backup lineman.

The bill still holds some leverage there, but it adds needed bulk without breaking the bank.

Viking spans have mixed feelings on the pace, but players like Jonathan Greenard are earning respect off the field too.

He just landed a key role with the NFL Players Association, highlighting his leadership that teammates have always praised.

General manager Rob Brzynski isn't rushing his job interview process either,

staying steady as he is a permanent gig if things go well through.

Spring.

With some cap space left, they're also scouting depth defensive free agents to avoid draft reaches later.

All this sets the stage for a busier few months as the Vikings bill tore next season's push.
