I published a new piece at Zone Coverage about the issues that plagued the Vikings defense down the stretch and what it means for Brian Flores and the Vikings. Here, I add in some free agent targets.
How much cap can they restructure? Because of they bring back Cousins, they're in a world of hurt cap-wise and they're going to need to take flyers on low cost dudes
It is a good piece but it is also agonizing to try to read football guff while half the Mediocre North is still in the playoffs.

It turns out quite a lot. A good amount of cap can be recovered from the Cousins and Hunter dead cap hits and Jefferson can be extended to reduce his cap hit significantly. I wrote about it in another Zone Coverage piece actually: https://zonecoverage.com/2024/minnesota-vikings-news/dont-panic-extending-cousins-can-still-allow-the-vikings-to-build-for-the-future/
