The Minnesota Vikings are exploring free agency options for an outside linebacker following the trade of Jonathan Greenard to the Philadelphia Eagles for two third-round picks. The team has around $13 million in cap space and may target a veteran EDGE defender as depth behind Dallas Turner and Andrew Van Ginkel remains unproven. Reports suggest free-agent options include Jadeveon Clowney, Cameron Jordan, and others, while the Vikings may also consider promoting from within if no external move is made.
