Minnesota Vikings News and Links: Are The Vikings Set At EDGE Rusher?

Minnesota Vikings coverage focused on whether the team is set at the EDGE rusher position, amid ongoing quarterback-related debate. The writer argues the Vikings’ quarterback situation will continue to be discussed beyond an eventual decision, emphasizing that they did not bring in Murray to sit and that J.J. has not had a full season due to injury. The article also references durability concerns and highlights how accuracy and timing affect receiver yards after catch. On roster moves, the piece says it favors veteran EDGE rusher Derek Barnett, who turns 30 on June 25. Barnett reportedly logged 387 snaps for Houston in 2025, including 209 as a pass rusher, producing 16 pressures with six sacks and six hits. The author estimates a one-year cost of $4–5 million for Barnett, compared with $9–11 million for a one-year deal for Bosa, and cites performance grades from PFF. It also briefly mentions the Vikings’ hiring of Andrew Healy, described as a smart nontraditional sports hire.
