Dating back to the days of Jared Allen and Brian Robison, the Vikings enjoyed the luxury of two productive pass rushers on their four-man defensive line for all of the 2010s.
They’ll begin the 2020s, it appears, with two Pro Bowlers under the age of 26.
Sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed the team swung an early-morning trade Sunday with the Jaguars for defensive end Yannick Ngakoue, sending a 2021 second-round pick and a conditional 2021 fifth-rounder to Jacksonville for Ngakoue, who had been the subject of trade rumors for much of the offseason after the team placed the franchise tag on him.
