For secondary depth, Vikings putting trust in youth
In a salary-capped league, you can either pay a lot of average players average money or you can pay a few good players a lot of money.
For the Minnesota Vikings, five players make up $40.4 million of the total $67 million spent on defense – and $6.75 million of that belongs to Sharrif Floyd, who is currently injured.
So while the Vikings make sure players like Everson Griffen and Linval Joseph get their due, Minnesota is forced to look to young talent (on rookie contracts) to fill out depth spots.
