Vikings Ponder Lawrence Trade for D-Line Boost

0:00On April 8th, the Minnesota Vikings are hurting for defensive tackle death after cutting Jonathan Allen and Javanne Hargrave to kickoff free agency. Now, New York Giants star Dexter Lawrence just requested a trade on Monday, and folks are buzzing if Minnesota should jump in to snack him for an an instant upgrade on the interior line. Lawrence and the Giants have stalled on a new deal for three straight off seasons, and he's sitting out all off-season workouts until it's sorted. The Vikings pack four picks in the top 97 spots, giving them solid trade ammo to make a move. Fans and analysts see huge impact here. Lawrence turns 29 in November, dominated as the top interior guy by PFF in 2022 and 2023, then second last year. Pair him with Brian Flores' scheme, and that D-line gets ferocious real quick. But Cash is the big snag. Viking sit at just 4.8 million in cap space for next year against Lawrence's nearly 27 million hit.

1:00Giants has 6.5 million, so any deal means New York eats salary or Minnesota restructures with their capwiz, Rob Brazinski handling the... Math tough without moving, Jonathan Greenard first. Bottom line. A trade looks like a long shot, unless Lawrence chills on demanding fresh paper. But if Brazinski words magic, Flores gets a nightmare. Match up for opponents all season.
