The Vikings entered the 2020 offseason facing an array of tough questions<\/a> about their roster, and so far, they’ve yet to show they can form a better group than the one that was blasted in the NFC divisional round by the 49ers in January.<\/p>\n Minnesota traded Stefon Diggs, entered a contract dispute with Dalvin Cook<\/a> and remains financially committed to the ever-underwhelming Kirk Cousins at quarterback.
