The Minnesota Vikings have been in a state of flux when it comes to the salary cap. They started the offseason $15 million over the cap limit and had some work to do in regards to trimming that number down.
The first move they made was giving quarterback Kirk Cousins a one-year extension, which gave the team $14 million of cap relief. They also maneuvered by restructuring the contracts of safety Harrison Smith and wideout Adam Thielen.
However, the biggest elephant in the room was edge rusher Danielle Hunter.
