Impact Smith turned 35 in February, but he'll apparently be coming back for at least one more campaign anyways. Provided his playing time isn't cut drastically, he could be a candidate to return fringe IDP value in 2024.

Brandon Powell - Staying in Minnesota Powell agreed to terms Tuesday to re-sign with the Vikings on a one-year contract, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
Impact Powell has more punt returns (86) than catches (76) in 61 career games, but he did a nice job filling in on offense last year when Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison or K.J. Osborn weren't available. Osborn now appears headed for free agency, potentially giving Powell a better shot at the No. 3 receiver role, albeit in a Minnesota offense that won't have QB Kirk Cousins.

Andrew Van Ginkel - Changing squads Van Ginkel (foot) is slated to sign a two-year, $20 million contract with the Vikings on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Van Ginkel saw extra opportunities in 2023 and was able to record a career-high, 6.0 sacks, while also compiling 69 combined tackles, eight passes defended and an interception. He should step right into a starting role in Minnesota's linebacker corps on the strong side, while D.J. Wonnum (quadriceps) will likely move into a depth role.

Kirk Cousins - Ready to talk contract with Atlanta Cousins (Achilles) is expected to begin negotiating with the Falcons when the legal tampering period begins at 12:00 p.m. ET on Monday, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.
Impact Rumors have connected the two parties for the past couple weeks, and it sounds like the Falcons may be willing to outbid the Vikings for Cousins' services. It's also possible the Vikings up their offer in the presence of a real threat, and Cousins may even give the team an opportunity to match any offer he receives. Whatever the case, Atlanta needs to be taken seriously as a contender for Cousins' services. His presence under center would be a huge fantasy boost for WR Drake London and TE Kyle Pitts, with RB Bijan Robinson possibly benefiting quite a bit as well.

Impact "The Vikings are still in this," Pelissero added. But the Falcons and Broncos were two teams mentioned as possible destinations should Cousins ultimately leave Minnesota.
