Three Minnesota Vikings players who could be traded prior to the 2020 NFL trade deadline.

There’s no question, the Minnesota Vikings have been one of the more disappointing teams in the NFL going into Week 7 of the 2020 NFL season.

A year after the Vikings reached the NFC Divisional Round where they fell to the San Francisco 49ers, Minnesota has started the new year off with a disappointing record of 1-5 while quickly dropping in the NFC and NFL standings while bringing further questions about where the team will go from here moving forward.

The rough start to the season might just be enough to persuade the Vikings to become strong selling candidates leading up to the Nov. 3 NFL Trade Deadline, which could result in the team dishing out players on the current roster.

On Thursday, Minnesota began the process of trading away players while stocking up on assets for the future when it traded away defensive end Yannick Ngakoue just six games after the organization traded for him.

Ngakoue’s trade might not be the only move that is made by the organization this season and the emergence of the upcoming trade deadline could spark more and more trade talks between the Vikings and other teams in the NFL.

With the trade deadline continuing to inch closer at the beginning of November, there are multiple Minnesota players that could end up wearing a new uniform for the rest of the year. Let’s take a look at three players that could be prime candidates to be traded away before Nov. 3.
