So are we players for anyone else other than so lower end guys? Maybe a vet RB if Murry doesnt stay? Or will we look to the draft to add OL, DL and maybe another nickle CB or TE?
Saw someone had us interested in a TE from Philly.
Something to keep an eye out for - I'm told the #Vikings plan to bring in a new nickel CB for 2018, and they're looking at FA's. The team intends on upgrading from the duo of Mackensie Alexander/Terrance Newman this offseason.

Interesting, last year it was all about the OTs. This year was the free agent QB (3 of them coming from MN)
The Vikings are among the teams interested in Bears CB Bryce Callahan. Bears put right-of-first-refusal tag on Callahan; they could match an offer to him, but he would cost no draft pick compensation, and would give the Vikings another nickel corner option. 4:47 AM · Mar 13, 2018

any opinions on callahan? would the bears let a decent one go?
The Minnesota Vikings are reportedly looking for someone other than Mackensie Alexander or Terence Newman to be the team’s slot corner in 2018.There are not a ton of areas in which the Minnesota Vikings’ defense needs to improve in heading into next season. But there are still some things that need to be tweaked and added this offseason.
One of those will be finding someone to takeover the role as the team’s permanent slot cornerback in 2018. Mackensie Alexander and Terence Newman took turns in the slot last season, but apparently the Vikings are interested in finding someone else for 2018.
Minnesota’s new guy for the role could come through free agency according to 1500 ESPN’s Shawn Zobel on Monday.
As for who the Vikings could be interested in for the role, well they could look at a young corner who has spent his entire career in the NFC North according to the Star Tribune’s Ben Goessling on Tuesday.
Still only 26-years-old, Callahan is a bit raw. Coming to Minnesota and learning from Mike Zimmer and defensive backs coach Jerry Gray could be what he needs to take his play to the next level.
A few other names that the Vikings could be interested in for the role could be Nickell Robey-Coleman, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Orlando Scandrick, Brice McCain, and Adam “Pacman” Jones.
Minnesota clearly feels they are set for 2018 with Xavier Rhodes and Trae Waynes as their outside corners. But with these recent reports, the Vikings were definitely not satisfied with the performances from Alexander and Newman in the slot last season.

Is this saying that Mac is on the "outs" with the coaching staff... or are we just looking to add depth there (and Mac can fight it out for a starting spot with the guy they bring in)? Or is Mac being groomed for an outside CB role, in case we can't afford Waynes?

Wondered the same thing...and IF he's on the outs with coaches could he be traded?
