Vikings Sign Jadeveon Clowney for Edge Defense
Description
Minnesota Vikings Trade of Jonathan Greenard Leaves Edge Defense Vulnerable: Jadeveon Clowney a Smart Free Agent Signing
The Minnesota Vikings trade of star pass rusher Jonathan Greenard to the Philadelphia Eagles has left their edge defense in need of quick fixes. Defensive coordinator Brian Flores currently has Andrew Van Ginkel and Dallas Turner as his top outside linebackers, but the depth behind them is unproven. Interim GM Rob Brzezinski could sign free agent Jadeveon Clowney, a savvy veteran with solid stats, to fill the third spot and provide stability. Clowney, at 33, has eight and a half sacks last year for the Cowboys on limited snaps and is expected to bring more experience than the young depth for just a few million bucks. Other free agents like Joey Bosa, Cameron Jordan, or Von Miller are available, but Clowney is the best fit before the draft. Playoff teams like the Eagles stockpile edge rushers for depth, and Minnesota should follow suit to avoid relying on untested talent.
