Minnesota Vikings: Stealing one player from every NFC North foe

At a time when we’re all dreaming about a brighter future, taking a hypothetical look at players the Vikings should steal from the NFC North seems logical.

It’s still the offseason, this global pandemic is still being a pain, and the Minnesota Vikings aren’t doing much in the way of keeping us entertained (for obvious reasons). In hopes of handling the latter myself, I decided to imagine a world in which stealing players were possible.

In this hypothetical scenario, I’ll be examining the top options to poach from opponents within the VIkings’ own division.

There was plenty of talent to ponder during this process. Despite their lackluster showings in 2019, both the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears have at least a few drool-inducing players on their rosters. As for the Green Bay Packers, we all know how much talent can be had if you look in the right place. Let’s just say there were plenty of options to consider across the board.

For a bit of context, I primarily focused on fixing the Vikings’ current problems while assuming all three players I picked would be simultaneously added to the mix. The financial ramifications of stealing these players also wasn’t a concern. Football may be a team sport, but I can assure you adding these three stars would help put the Vikings in the “contender” category in 2020.

Anyway… let’s cut to the chase. Here are the players I believe the Vikings would steal from their NFC North rivals if given the opportunity.
