With just over a month left until training camp gets underway, the Minnesota Vikings are likely in the process of deciding what final moves they need to make to shore up their roster before everyone gets together in Eagan to prepare for the 2026 NFL season. Lots of people have suggestions, but one outlet has suggested a move for a relatively big name that. . .well, might not be a terribly good move for our favorite team.
ESPN has an article up that suggests one last offseason move for each of the 32 NFL teams, whether that move be a free agent signing, a trade, a contract extension, or whatever it may be. In the case of the Vikings, the move that they suggest is signing edge rusher Haason Reddick, late of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and still floating around the free agency market. Here’s the logic behind their suggestion.
Another NFC North team, another questionable depth chart on the edge. The issue here is not Dallas Turner and Andrew Van Ginkel but rather the players behind them, led by 2025 fifth-round pick Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins and 2024 undrafted free agent Bo Richter.
Reddick had only 2.5 sacks last season, the lowest of the three best available veteran pass rushers, but his 12% pass rush win rate was still impressive: similar to the Chargers’ Tuli Tuipulotu and just ahead of the Steelers’ T.J. Watt. Reddick’s history of playing in flexible 3-4 defenses makes him the best fit for defensive coordinator Brian Flores because he has more experience dropping into coverage on complicated zone blitzes.
It wasn’t that long ago when Reddick was one of the NFL’s premier pass rushers. In 2022, he racked up 16 sacks for the Philadelphia Eagles, was a second-team All-Pro selection, and finished fourth in Defensive Player of the Year voting. He followed that up with an 11-sack campaign for the Eagles, and was then traded to the New York Jets for a mid-round draft choice.

Reddick then demanded a trade from the Jets, and when a trade didn’t materialize, he held out until mid-October. He wound up playing in just 10 games that season and recorded just one sack. He then signed a one-year deal with Tampa Bay for the 2025 season and appeared in 13 games with 12 starts, recording 2.5 sacks and just 6 quarterback hits despite playing 71% of the Buccaneers’ defensive snaps.
I know the pickings are a little bit on the slim side at this point of the offseason, but the idea of signing Haason Reddick just doesn’t do a whole lot to get the proverbial juices flowing, honestly. There has to be a few better options out there for the Vikings to look into, and if the team is looking to add depth behind Van Ginkel and Turner (as they should be), hopefully they’re looking in a different direction.
