Kevin O'Connell and the Minnesota Vikings won 14 games in 2024 before the season ended abruptly with a wild-card loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Monday. Let the offseason -- and the pressing questions -- begin.

However, the Vikings will enter free agency with the sixth-most cap space. They had a fantastic offseason in 2024 by adding several free agents who played significant roles in the 14-3 season. If the Vikings can replicate any of that success, they could set themselves up for further success in 2025.

These Minnesota Vikings crushed it in the chemistry department, building a system that allowed former castaway Sam Darnold to set an NFL starting quarterback record with 14 wins in his debut season and using a carefully selected infusion of free agents to revitalize the defense.

The Vikings know when they’ll be on the clock in the 2025 NFL draft. After losing on Monday night to the Rams in the NFC wild-card round, and doing so with the most wins among wild-card losers, the Vikings (14-3) were slotted into the 24th selection.
