Vikings players who are unrestricted free agents after 2020 and whether they should be re-signed

After the 2020 NFL season, the Vikings have some decisions to make about key players. Here are the players whose deals run out, and here’s what Minnesota should do.

DT Jaleel Johnson

Linval Joseph signed with the Los Angeles Chargers this offseason.

Now that he’s gone, free agent signing Michael Pierce is likely to be one of the starting defensive tackles. However, the three-technique spot is wide open.

Shamar Stephen is the returning starter, but Johnson might be able to win the spot. He will be in competition with several candidates, such as Armon Watts, James Lynch, Hercules Mata’afa and others.

If he can win the spot or be high up on the depth chart, then he probably stays. If not, he might not be re-signed.

Decision: Don’t re-sign
