Free agency in the NFL begins on Monday, with “legal tampering.” Stay close to your phone because the NFL will fundamentally change in a single day.
Last-Minute Rumors for Vikings Free Agency
The Minnesota Vikings have about $61 million to spend on the process, and most expect the team to improve the depth chart markedly. The club has already extended Aaron Jones (RB), Theo Jackson (S), and Ryan Wright (P).
And right before legal tampering kicks off, these are some last-minute rumors, sources tell VikingsTerritory.

<p>The Cleveland Browns had nibbled around Daniel Jones’ free agency, but realistically, his 2025 place of employment is between the Vikings and Colts. </p>
<p>In Minnesota, Jones can probably play his way into a “summer competition” with J.J. McCarthy, who is the odds-on favorite to start for the Vikings in 2025. Plus, he already knows the organization somewhat well.</p>
<p>Jones would have a legitimate chance to start with the Indianapolis Colts, as Anthony Richardson has floundered through two seasons and struggled to stay healthy. Everyone knew Richardson was raw exiting the 2023 NFL Draft, and he might take even more time to mature into the Colts’ QB1.</p>
<p>It’s reportedly down to the Vikings and Colts for Jones. </p>
