Breaking : “Vikings Strike Gold in Free Agency with Dual Pass-Rush Powerhouse Signings – Here’s How They Transformed Their Defense!”

On Thursday, February 13, Bill Barnwell outlined a scenario where the Vikings could trade Dallas Turner to the Browns in exchange for a significant draft asset. Despite winning 14 games,

the Vikings are well-stocked at edge rusher after acquiring Jonathan Greenard and Andrew Van Ginkel in free agency and selecting Turner in the first round of the 2024 draft. Barnwell noted, “It would be surprising if the Vikings gave up more draft capital to pursue Myles Garrett. The Browns, however, might prefer to add a young edge rusher like Turner to replace Garrett, rather than just receiving draft picks in a deal.” He added, “While Turner had plenty of talent ahead of him on the depth chart, the 22-year-old didn’t exactly dominate as a rookie.”

Turner ended the season with 12 quarterback pressures and 3 sacks over 302 snaps. Interestingly, despite being drafted as a pass-rush specialist and used primarily in that role, Turner performed better against the run (on 103 snaps) than he did against dropbacks (on 144 snaps), according to Pro Football Focus.
