Yeah, the Viking D is just so bad it's hard to imagine.  The Bears offense barely looks like a NFL team, but completely shredded our D a few weeks ago. 

I don't think they're going to fix it in one off season.  Serious upgrades are needed on the DL, LB and DBs.

I actually have a lot of hope for the D, hell it cant get worse?

 You get a HEALTHY Kendricks, Barr, Pierce and Hunter back? That's an awful lot of talent returning. Years of draft talent back in the fold.

Pick-up a decent 3t in draft or FA??? Baby DB's will get a full TC, OTA and a year under the belt.

Expecting significant improvement on that side of the ball isnt going out on a limb imo. 

We'll see, Hunter and Pierce are still unknowns. Not sure if Barr is going to stay. If he is going to stay, he needs to restructure his contract. I am confident in Kendricks. The rookies have experience now though.

My thoughts exactly.  Even with
Hunter and Pierce, we don't have any depth along the DL.  Sounds like Barr
might not be on the team, and same with Wilson; that leaves Kendricks. 
I'm still not sure how good the DBs are other than Harry.  Getting a respected pass rush will help them, but it sounds like Hunter is our
lone known savior for pressuring the QB, and he's coming off a serious injury.  

Maybe we can be a middle of the pack
D instead of a cellar dweller.  I just think it's pretty unrealistic we'll see a
top 10 Viking defense next season; way too many holes and roster question marks.

I think Harris will be gone too. His play really fell off. Not sure if Hughes comes back from his neck injury. We'll see how the corners do. There is no pass rush. If COVID continues, does Pierce opt out again if that is a possibility due to his asthma? There are still so many questions.

Holy cow, I forgot Mike Hughes existed. I think Pierce will play as there is a much better grasp on the situation now than there was back in August. Hunter is an athletic freak and I would be surprised if there was any set back with him

Eh, how much bargaining power does he have in that right now? He sat all season long with a neck injury collecting a check. I would like to think that discussion starts after this next season but who knows

Then so does Anthony Barr to not restructure, same goes for Harry, Pierce, and others
