Vikings Free Agency Enters Phase 2 with Key Questions

Free agency is about ebbs and flows as teams lose and add key players. We’re now in the second week of free agency, which signals the start of Phase 2 in the free agency cycle. The big bucks early signings have taken place involving highly sought players such as center Tyler Linderbaum, DE Trey Hendrickson, WRs Mike Evans and Alec Pierce, and Edges Jaelan Phillips and Odafe Oweh.

Daniel Jones was re-signed in Indy on a two-year deal that could reach $100 million with incentives. Kyler Murray’s signing by the Vikings was in Phase 1, and he is certainly a significant addition. It was a bargain deal for the Purple at only $1.

3 million (the league minimum) this year, while the Cardinals pay Murray $36. 8 million, guaranteed for 2026. That was a big free agency win for the Vikings since he’s the likely 2026 starter over J.

J. McCarthy if Murray stays healthy. The re-signing of LB Eric Wilson last week was also a win for the team.
