Should The Vikings Trade For The Redskins’ Trent Williams?

(WCCO) — The Minnesota Vikings need to improve their offensive line. And left tackle Trent Williams, ostensibly of the Washington Redskins, needs a new team. So should the Vikings trade for Williams? The answer is a definite maybe.

The Vikings offensive line was a shortcoming in a season that could’ve gone further. The run-blocking was strong, with Dalvin Cook piling up 1,135 yards on 250 carries — a 4.5 yards per carry average — and leading the NFL for a good chunk of the season.

Pass-blocking also improved somewhat from 2018, when Cousins was sacked 40 times and had trouble holding onto the ball.
