The Vikings' focus has been square on Kirk Cousins, but behind the scenes they are trying to secure other free agents, too — including their own. Here are the three most likely to be signed:
K Kai Forbath: While he missed five extra points, he was fairly consistent in connecting on 32 of 38 field-goal attempts.

DT Shamar Stephen: He is productive in his role at a position of need next to Linval Joseph.
