6 Free Agents the Vikings Could Add after the Draft

Allen Eyestone via Imagn Content Services, LLC Are free agents the hot topic for the Minnesota Vikings right now? No — that designation rightfully belongs to the NFL Draft , which gets cracking in about a week and a half. Still, after that event, teams re-pivot to free agency, and here’s who Minnesota could target, depending on its draft haul.

Minnesota may not be done adding help yet. The players are ranked in ascending order (No. 1 = who the Vikings should prioritize foremost).

Veteran Options Who Could Still Patch the Vikings’ Roster Free agency still matters for the 2026 Vikings, believe it or not.

DeAndre Hopkins (WR) In 2025, Hopkins was targeted only 39 times by the Baltimore Ravens , fewer than the 53 targets Jalen Nailor received as the Vikings’ WR3. While Hopkins performed at a WR3 level the previous year in his combined time with Kansas City and Tennessee, a reunion with Kyler Murray in 2026 could revitalize his role in an offense. Hopkins also stated last month that he’d love to join Murray in Minnesota.
