On paper, from a May 2026 viewpoint, the 2027 offseason is scheduled to feature a mass exodus of veteran talent for the Minnesota Vikings. The club didn’t spend much in 2026 free agency — probably because it knew that extending existing players would be a top priority. And as soon as now and during the summer, several players are in line for extensions.

The Vikings won’t extend all of the following players in 2026, but each has a case to ask for more time and money.
