Bynum can become a free agent in March, but said he wants to return to Minnesota.
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Minnesota Vikings safety Cam Bynum posted to his Instagram late last week he’d be doing a meet-and-greet at the FanHQ store at Ridgedale Mall.
Hundreds of fans showed up to meet one of the more popular players on the roster. Bynum also spoke with FOX 9’s Pierre Noujaim about his potential future in Minnesota. Bynum was a fourth round pick by the Vikings in 2021, and is eligible for free agency when the NFL’s league year opens in March.
He’s hoping it doesn’t come to that.
“I’m not sure what it’s looking like, but I’m praying I’m back here,” Bynum said. “I’ve loved everything about my four years here, the community, even outside the building. Being a Viking, there’s nothing better. I’m praying it’ll work out.”
Bynum’s season
Why it matters: Bynum started every game this season for the Vikings and finished with 96 tackles in the regular season. He also had three of Minnesota’s NFL-leading 24 interceptions on the season, and added two fumble recoveries.
Bynum the choreographer
What we know: The Vikings celebrated their takeaways, and Bynum was one of the chief choreographers on the defense. The dances have included the “Parent Trap” handshake, a dance from “White Chicks,” as well as “Camp Rock” and even a salute to Australian Olympic break dancer Raygun.
Bynum is a fan-favorite, and highly-respected in the locker room. He’s in line for a bigger role on defense if he returns, with the possibility of Harrison Smith retiring.
