The Minnesota Vikings have several key questions to answer this offseason, including potential trade targets to shore up both sides of the ball.
They have a big question to answer at defensive end. The Vikings are set to lose not one or two, but all three of their top edge rushers from last season. Marcus Davenport, Danielle Hunter, and DJ Wonnum are all free agents.
Bleacher Report’s scouting department suggests Philadelphia Eagles pass rusher Josh Sweat as a “top trade target” to replace them.
“Many of the Vikings’ needs will hinge on how they handle impending free agents like quarterback Kirk Cousins and pass-rusher Danielle Hunter,” B/R’s scouting department wrote on January 29. “If Hunter departs, trading for an edge-rusher on an expiring contract, like Philadelphia’s Josh Sweat, could give Minnesota a stopgap option.”
Sweat, 26, logged 6.5 sacks this season and is no slouch against the run.
