Vikings Trade Proposal Exchanges 35-Sack Edge For Ex DPOY

The Minnesota Vikings will be fierce competitors in the NFC if quarterback, JJ McCarthy is up for the challenge; and plays the way head coach, Kevin O’Connell, believes he can play when the organization drafted him with the 10th overall pick back in 2024.

But one other unit that will be interesting to observe over the next couple of months as training camp gets going, is the pass rush. The Vikings added Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave in free agency on the defensive line, but the edge rushing group remained broadly the same.

And for good reason; between Jonathan Greenard, Andrew Van Ginkel and last year’s first round pick, Dallas Turner, the top three members of the edge rushing group managed 26.5 sacks.

With Greenard and Van Ginkel alone, the Vikings had the second most dangerous edge-rushing duo in the league last season, behind only the Broncos’ Nik Bonitto and Jonathan Cooper, who managed just half a sack more combined.
