Vikings $40 Million Pro Bowler prospect
The Minnesota Vikings are facing significant questions during this offseason, particularly concerning their defensive end positions. The team is on the verge of losing all three of their primary edge rushers from the previous season, namely Marcus Davenport, Danielle Hunter, and DJ Wonnum, who are all entering free agency.
To address this defensive gap, Bleacher Report’s scouting department proposes Philadelphia Eagles pass rusher Josh Sweat as a potential “top trade target” for the Vikings. The scouting department highlights that the Vikings’ offseason strategy will be influenced by decisions on impending free agents, including quarterback Kirk Cousins and pass-rusher Danielle Hunter. In the event of Hunter’s departure, acquiring an edge rusher with an expiring contract, such as Philadelphia’s Josh Sweat, could serve as a temporary solution for the Vikings.

Josh Sweat, at 26 years old, showcased his defensive prowess by registering 6.5 sacks in the recent season while maintaining effectiveness against the run. As a fourth-round pick in 2018, the 6-foot-5 pass rusher achieved a career-high 11.0 sacks in 2022, earning a Pro Bowl selection in 2021.
Stathead data ranks Sweat 20th in the league with 31 sacks over the past four seasons. Currently in the final year of a three-year, $40 million contract, acquiring Sweat from Philadelphia could pose a challenge for the Vikings, possibly involving intricate negotiations, a scenario familiar to the team.
