The Vikings will have some tough decisions to make in free agency.
Minnesota will have trouble keeping a few of its top free agents. However, the Vikings also have restricted free agents who, for the most part, will be easier to keep around.
Mike Boone is one of those players due to be a restricted free agent. Boone has been a reserve running back on the Vikings in all of his three NFL seasons. Alexander Mattison typically gets more carries when both are healthy and Dalvin Cook is the definitive starter. However, Boone can still contribute.
Minnesota appears to want to keep Boone this offseason, according to a report. Per the Pioneer Press’ Chris Tomasson, the Vikings “definitely want to bring back” Boone.
Personally I don’t think Boone is worth a tender, especially with the depth the team already has at running back. That said, he would be a useful player to keep around. You can see what Vikings Wire said about all of Minnesota’s players who are set to be restricted free agents here.
