The Viking Age

1. Quarterback Kirk Cousins: Despite his inconsistent play, Cousins has been a reliable starter for the Vikings, leading the team to the playoffs in each of his three seasons with the team. He should remain for at least another two years, giving the team a chance to develop their next franchise quarterback. 2. Wide Receiver Adam Thielen: Thielen has been a reliable target for Cousins and the offense since he joined the team in 2014. His production has not declined in recent years and he is still one of the most reliable targets on the team. 3. Offensive Tackle Riley Reiff: Reiff has been a stalwart on the offensive line for the past few seasons. He is an experienced veteran who can provide stability and leadership at the tackle position for the foreseeable future. 4. Linebacker Eric Kendricks: Kendricks has been a dominant force on defense for the Vikings since he was drafted in 2015. He is a leader on the field and in the locker room, and his presence should be a cornerstone of the defense for many years to come. 5. Defensive End Danielle Hunter: Hunter is one of the best pass-rushers in the NFL and has been a key part of the defense since being drafted in 2015. He should remain with the team through 2023 and beyond, providing a constant source of pressure on opposing quarterbacks.
