The Minnesota Vikings were only a few pieces away from being serious Super Bowl contenders in 2015. Here are a few “bold” predictions to get fans excited about the possibilities in 2016.

We’re only a couple of weeks away from the 2016 NFL offseason officially getting under way, and the Minnesota Vikings have a number of issues they must address. They were a few pieces (and one chip-shot field goal) away from going deep into the playoffs last year, which is why making a few critical improvements could make or break Minnesota’s 2016 campaign.

So what could happen this offseason? Honestly, who knows? Just about anything is possible when it comes to the NFL, but I’m sure GM Rick Spielman will lead the Vikings down the right path. Still, it doesn’t hurt to come up with a few “bold” predictions as we patiently wait for the fun to begin.

Obviously it’s in your best interest to take these predictions with a grain of salt. They’re meant to push the limits of logic while still touching on the Vikings’ roster needs–they’re not necessarily moves I see happening. As sports fans, we all love to speculate on the possibilities the future may or may not hold; that’s what I’m doing with this article.

So, without further ado, here are my “bold” predictions for what the Vikings may do between now and the start of free agency on March 9.
