Players Released
LG- Charlie Johnson
Players Traded
RB Adrian Peterson- This is going to be a touchy situation and nobody really knows whats going to happen here. As much as I hate to say it, I think he is going to be gone. However, I think we are better off restructuring his contract and trading him rather than cutting him outright. How his contract will be structured?? I honestly have no clue. He is still a very good RB and we can still get solid value for him. That value though, is also tough to determine. Spielman did a great job of getting a 1st round pick for Percy which nobody thought would happen. However, I don't think we can get one for Adrian because of his age and the decline of the RB position.
However, in this mock offseason, we do manage to restructure his contract, trade him and receive: the Dallas Cowboys 2nd round pick, 4th round pick and their 2016 5th round pick
Free Agency-
CB- Kareem Jackson- 4 years, $6M/year- Jackson has been solid since coming into the league from the Crimson Tide recording 9 interceptions since 2011. He will allow us to use Munnerlyn in the slot. Jackson gives us the versatility to even use Munnerlyn on the outside if we want and bump him to the slot. He has played the majority of his games on the outside but has played the slot as well.

LG- Clint Boling- 3 years, $2.5M/year- Boling was injured last season but has been a superior pass blocker since he has been in the league and has ranked in the top 15 according PFF the last 2 years.

TE- Jermaine Gresham- 2 years, 2M/year- Gresham provides solid depth behind Kyle Rudolph.

DT- Terrence Cody- 1 year, vet minimum- Provides depth along the interior defensive line

2014 NFL Draft
Round 1 (12th)
SS- Landon Collins- Alabama- Collins is the top safety in this years draft and was considered the best overall player on Bama's defense LAST YEAR! Zimmer loves versatile safeties that can play all over the field and this is exactly what Collins can do. A great pick that fills a huge hole.

TRADE- The classic Spielman trade up never fails. The Vikings trade their 2nd round pick (44th overall) and their 3rd round pick to the Cincinnati Bengals for their 1st round pick (25th overall)
Round 1 (25th) via Cincinnati
RB-Todd Gurley- Georgia- Gurley fills a gigantic need and gives us our running game back. Gurley is one of the best RBs to come out since AP and will be an immediate impact player for this offense.

Round 2 via Dallas
MLB- Denzel Perryman- Miami- Perryman is my "man crush" of this years draft. He is an absolute animal in the middle and is a sure first round talent but could fall due to his size (somewhat under-sized standing at 6'0). Zimmer loves that thumper in the middle and thats Perryman inside and out. He is one of the best run stuffers to come out in a long time. Watch and see for yourself!!!

Round 4 via Dallas
WR- Nelson Agholor- USC- Agholor is a solid possession WR that could develop into our #3 WR behind CP and Greg.

Round 5
CB- KeiVarae Russell- Notre Dame- Russell can make an impact as a #4-5 CB for us.

Round 6
OT- Darryl Williams- Oklahoma- Provides depth behind Kalil and Loadholt

Round 7
QB- Taylor Kelly- Arizona St.- our 3rd string QB
