I haven't been the biggest fan of the idea of a full-on blow up of the Minnesota Vikings, but in the interest of trying it, here's a plan to do so.

The goal was to make the best 53-man roster possible while being as eager as possible to My rules:

• No extensions. All expiring or voiding contracts will terminate as scheduled.
• I must cut anyone who saves me more than half of their 2024 cap hit. Post-June or trades allowed to accomplish this with more players.
• No need to cut any player who will save less than $1 million in salary cap space.
• Rookie deals stay untouched.
