This offseason was a relatively quiet one for the Minnesota Vikings.

They didn’t have a lot of salary cap space to maneuver with, so they added just three players in free agency before the NFL Draft, and added a fourth to provide depth. Nine NFL Draft picks and a whopping 19 undrafted free agents round out the roster ahead of rookie minicamp this weekend.

Minnesota Vikings announce player numbers

On Wednesday, the Vikings announced player numbers for the 2026 season, and there are some interesting ones.

Veteran additions and number changes

Player	Number
QB Kyler Murray	1
P Johnny Hekker	5
CB James Pierre	23
OLB Chaz Chambliss	32
DT Eric Johnson	93

Pierre got a really nice cornerback number at 23, and Murray sticks with 1. He’s worn that in multiple stops across his career, from high school to the Arizona Cardinals. Chambliss changed his number from 47 to 32, which is a good change overall.

NFL Draft class

Player	Number
DE Caleb Banks	95
ILB Jake Golday	41
NT Domonique Orange	97
OT Caleb Tiernan	78
S Jakobe Thomas	8
FB/TE Max Bredeson	45
CB Charles Demmings	20
RB Demond Claiborne	21
C Gavin Gerhardt	58

Some really good numbers for the Vikings’ draft class. Banks was unable to get 88 due to Alan Page’s number being retired. Demmings getting 20 is a great number for a cornerback, as is 8 for Thomas.

Undrafted free agents

Player	Number
WR Luke Wysong	17
CB Tyreak Chappell	28
CB Marcus Allen	29
WR Shaleak Knotts	30
WR Marcus Sanders Jr.	31
RB Kejon Owens	35
CB De’Veawn Armstead	38
S Jacob Thomas	39
ILB Scooby Williams	40
OLB Jordan Botelho	46
P Brett Thorson	47
ILB Jacob Roberts	48
OLB Cam’Ron Stewart	49
OLB Arden Walker	56
ILB Keli Lawson	57
OL Delby Lemieux	62
OT Tristan Leigh	63
OL Tomas Rimac	67
WR Dillon Bell	89
DT Monkell Goodwine	96

There isn’t a whole lot to read into this, especially when any of these players who make the roster will more than likely change their numbers.
