Minnesota is set to start virtual workouts on Monday. But when the team would be meeting in-person to do workouts this spring remained up in the air.
The Star Tribune’s Ben Goessling shed some light on the situation. Goessling reported that the Vikings will do Phase 1 of offseason workouts virtually. It “didn’t seem logical to put bonuses on the line for a brief workout,” Goessling said.
As Goessling pointed out, Minnesota has a lot of players with workout bonuses. The Vikings have 10 in total, eight of which have $100,000 or more in workout money. You can see every Vikings player with a workout bonus here.
