Vikings: A $52 million Pro Bowl lineman has been signed to the roster to replace the “risky player.”

If the Minnesota Vikings don’t provide the quarterback they have under center enough protection, all of their attempts to locate the franchise’s future quarterback may be in vain.

Luckily for the Vikings, Pro Football Focus ranked their pass-blocking performance from the previous season as the third-best. However, they may be looking to replace Blake Brandel, the left guard Dalton Risner’s current replacement, as they have allowed him to linger in the free agency wilderness.

Matt Holder of Bleacher Report advises the Vikings to try out free agency Laken Tomlinson of the New York Jets.

 

Holder stated on April 7 that “Blake Brandel is currently penciled in as the team’s starting left guard.” With only five career starts under his belt, the 2020 sixth-round selection is a dangerous player to depend on to safeguard the franchise’s future. At this point in the game, Tomlinson—who has 138 career starts at left guard—is among Minnesota’s finest experienced choices.
