The Top 3 High-Profile Former Vikings Scheduled to Hit Free Agency
The Minnesota Vikings have 25 free agents on tap to test the open market, though that number will shrink as general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah decides which in-house players to re-sign.

Meanwhile, several ex-Vikings players will hit free agency, many nearing the end of their respective careers. Riley Reiff and Linval Joseph are examples. But per prominent former Vikings who will assuredly latch onto new teams, these are the top three. Theyāre listed alphabetically.
1. Stefon Diggs (WR)

Diggs tore his ACL in the Houston Texansā win over the Indianapolis Colts, ending his 2024 campaign and perhaps career with the Texans.
The ex-Viking will be a free agent in five weeks, though, free to sign anywhere in the business. He should be available to play around Week 8 and command suitors accordingly.
Before the terrible injury, Diggs was on pace for 1,054 receiving yards and 6 touchdowns, impressive numbers for a player sharing WR space with Nico Collins and Tank Dell. In fact, thereās a world where the Vikings examine his free agency and bring Diggs home for another hurrah. Itās a longshot, but keep an eye on it.
2. Eric Kendricks (LB)
