Minnesota Vikings host veteran linebacker Kyle Van Noy on free agent visit

Summary

The Minnesota Vikings hosted free agent linebacker Kyle Van Noy for a visit on Tuesday as the team prepares for the upcoming 2026 NFL season. Van Noy, a two-time Super Bowl champion and 2024 Pro Bowler, spent the last three seasons with the Baltimore Ravens before moving on during the team's defensive roster overhaul. The visit provides a potential opportunity for Van Noy to reunite with Minnesota defensive coordinator Brian Flores, who previously coached him during their respective tenures with the New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins. While no contract has been finalized, reports indicate mutual interest between the veteran defender and the organization. Van Noy appeared in 15 games for Baltimore last season, recording 20 tackles and two sacks, following a 2024 campaign in which he registered a career-high 12.5 sacks.
