Much of what happens with the Minnesota Vikings this offseason will hinge on the situation under center.

Sam Bradford (still injured) is a pending free agent. And while head coach Mike Zimmer has expressed some hope Teddy Bridgewater (knee) could come back sooner than later, the situation at quarterback remains precarious.

Even if the Vikings are winning with Case Keenum.

Assuming Minnesota figures this out, addressing needs at tackle would be wise. Texas’ Connor Williams is someone worth looking at. A knee injury could be a concern, but there’s tremendous upside here.
