This time, the Minnesota Vikings fired off a trade with season-saving implications, sending a conditional 5th-Round draft pick from 2026 to the Jacksonville Jaguars for offensive tackle Cam Robinson and a 2026 7th-Rounder.

NFL Network‘s Ian Rapoport tweeted Tuesday, five days before the Vikings host the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday Night Football: “Trade: The Vikings are adding a new left tackle, completing a trade with the Jaguars to acquire LT Cam Robinson in exchange for draft pick compensation, per me and Tom Pelissero. An answer with Christian Darrisaw out for the season.”
The swap arrived after Minnesota’s franchise cornerstone left tackle Christian Darrisaw tore his ACL and MCL in Week 8 at the Los Angeles Rams.
ESPN’s Kevin Seifert weighed in on the deal, too. “In addition to Robinson, the Vikings receive a conditional 2026 seventh-round pick that can go away based on playing time, while the Jaguars receive a conditional 2026 fifth-round selection that can become a fourth-rounder based on playing time, according to sources,” he wrote. “Robinson, 29, is in the final year of a contract that pays him $16.25 million this season. The Jaguars will pay a portion of the remainder of Robinson’s salary, sources said.

The trade is also fascinating because the Vikings could be eligible for a compensatory draft pick in 2026 if Robinson departs in free agency 4.5 months from now. The move could be close to free when the dust settles.
