2025 Vikings Secondary

[MaroonBells]

Vikings need to extend Cam Bynum in the spring, if not sooner. I also think we should extend Byron Murphy as soon as possible too. I think it's pretty unlikely we'll bring back Gilmore and Griffin, so without Murphy our only "real" corners would be Blackmon coming off an ACL and Dwight McGlothern. 2025 1st rounder, Murphy, Blackmon and McGlothern isn't too terribly bad. Gotta hit on that 1st rounder though.

Would have been wise to have locked up Bynum sooner as his stock continues to rise. Not only has he continued to raise his level of play to a top tier safety, he has also shown to be a team leader and a very dynamic presence on and off the field, double incentive for an interested team and he has great marketing appeal.

Agree on Bynum, really hope he is in purple for a while. He is probably our next contract up, right?

I think Harry will be back. He's making some plays and seems to be having fun, so I don't see why not.

Murphy, Gilmore, Griffin... I'd welcome them all back but yeah money will start to dry up depending what they're looking for. Unfortunately like MB pointed out, years of terrible CB drafting and some bad luck has left the cupboard almost entirely bare there. I'd rate our defense this year as solid overall, with the weak point being the pass defense. But overall with how little contributions we're getting from draft picks on that side, it's pretty incredible how well the defense is playing, thanks in large part to all the new faces.

+3 on Bynum and I would try and get Murphy extended too...

Bynum > Murphy.

I'd definitely put Murphy in a separate category from Gilmore and Griffin. And he's only 26.
