With the NFL Scouting Combine in the rearview mirror, 2020 free agency is just around the corner. That period will officially start at 3 p.m. (CT) on March 18 when the new league year begins.
Over the next two weeks, Eric Smith, Lindsey Young and I will dive into Minnesota's current roster status by position. We'll offer a refresher on which Vikings are scheduled to become free agents, where potential needs might be and note players from other teams that are set to become free agents.
We're continuing the series with defensive ends/edge rushers …
UNDER CONTRACT:
Danielle Hunter, Stacy Keely, Ifeadi Odenigbo, Eddie Yarbrough
2019 stats (tackles are team stats)
Hunter: 76 tackles (54 solo), 16 tackles for loss, 14.5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles, 1 fumble recovery, 1 pass defended
Keely: spent all of 2019 on the practice squad as an undrafted rookie
Odenigbo: 19 tackles (17 solo), 7 tackles for loss, 7.0 sacks, 2 fumble recoveries, 1 pass defended; 56-yard fumble return touchdown
Yarbrough (with Buffalo): 29 tackles (21 solo), 4 tackles for loss
Since signing a contract extension in summer 2018, Hunter has posted back-to-back seasons with team bests of 14.5 sacks and garnered consecutive trips to the Pro Bowl. He became the youngest player to reach 50 career sacks in NFL history (since 1982) by recording 3.0 against Detroit in Week 14 last season.
