Tracking Rotation Opponents' Free Agency Activity

NFL free agency opened on March 9 and has led to several changes across the league.

This week, we've taken a look so far at teams the Vikings will face in 2017, grouped by divisions.

In addition to teams from those divisions, the Vikings also are due to play the Rams and Redskins based on the third-place respected order of finish by all three teams in their respective divisions in 2016. Minnesota will host Los Angeles and visit Washington.

In addition to the **free agency tracker** that has been keeping tabs on Vikings moves, here's a look at what's happened so far with the Rams and Redskins.
