Episode Details

The Minnesota Vikings are releasing veteran defensive linemen Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave, who failed to meet expectations after being signed to bolster their interior line. Allen, who joined from the Washington Commanders, played all seventeen games but managed only sixty-eight tackles and three and a half sacks. The team faces a significant gap upfront, absorbing a seventeen point three million dollar cap hit on Allen. They are also moving on from running back Aaron Jones and shopping edge rusher Jonathan Greenard. Brian Flores will need to rebuild the defensive line quickly, potentially focusing on pass rush from the edges if the interior remains thin. The Vikings are expected to make big moves in the draft to shore up their front and maintain their aggressive scheme.
