The Vikings' defense has played a major role in their success in 2024. Brian Flores' package and pressure plans have him in consideration for a head coaching job in 2025, but he's not the only one who could get a chance elsewhere.

The Vikings' pass rusher has taken a long time to develop, but he's already in his fourth . He had just five sacks earlier in his career this year, but in 10 games in 2024 he has seven. With seven , he has a chance to increase that amount and then he can parlay that into a larger contract.
With Dallas Turner drafted, the him that much or long-term. Instead, his potential departure simply means that Dallas Turner should see a jump in performance in 2025.
