The Vikings still have several holes to fill on their roster. Could trades be a path to finding the right players?
The Vikings have several established needs remaining on the roster –– defensive tackle, third receiver and cornerback –– heading into training camp. While a free agent acquisition has been the most talked about route to filling those holes, we’ve seen Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah pull off several trades to fill positions of need over the past few seasons.
According to Over The Cap, Allen has two years remaining on his deal with cap hits of $21.4 million and $23 million, respectively. He would be the most expensive name on this list but his proven ability to create pressure through the middle would be worth it for a potentially emerging Vikings defense.Godchaux, 29, isn’t the same caliber of talent as Allen but would come at a significantly cheaper price.
Sweat has registered 35 sacks in six seasons since being selected by Philadelphia in the fourth round of the 2018 draft.The Broncos picked up Surtain’s fifth-year option, meaning they still have at least two more years of control on the young corner. Despite that, Surtain was a constant presence in trade rumors surrounding the Denver Broncos this offseason.
Surtain would be the most expensive of the trades listed, not only from a trade chip standpoint but a monster contract extension that would follow. With a huge amount of cap space available over the next few seasons, the Vikings could afford to make the move.There has got to be at least a certain amount of reality involved here. While it’s certainly fun to dream of blockbuster trades for guys like D.K.
