The Minnesota Vikings haven’t been quiet to start the offseason, as they recently signed former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray to bolster the franchise’s quarterback room.
According to the Athletic’s Alec Lewis , the Vikings may not be finished making moves. “Two currently stand out (in terms of trade suitors for Defensive end Jonathan Greenard): the Philadelphia Eagles and the Indianapolis Colts ,” Lewis wrote last Thursday. “Both are in win-now mode.
Both explored the possibilities of signing free-agent edge rushers Trey Hendrickson and Phillips. Both have invested in edge rushers in recent years. Greenard also fits the systems of both defensive coordinators: Vic Fangio of the Eagles and Lou Anarumo of the Colts.
” Lewis noted that the Vikings would want a Day 2 draft pick for Greenard if a trade were to materialize. That said, an Apr. 1 trade rumor centered on the Vikings isn’t good news for the Eagles and Colts.
