Vikings eye three familiar faces to reshape 2026 offseason
As the 2026 NFL free agency period opens, Minnesota is linked to three former Vikings who could return: edge rusher D.J. Wonnum, offensive tackle Vederian Lowe, and quarterback Kirk Cousins. Wonnum would bolster a thin edge rotation after injury woes, Lowe could provide a reliable backup tackle at a reasonable price, and Cousins—though controversial—might rejoin Minnesota to mentor J.J. McCarthy and add quarterback stability. The report also notes possible routes like a Jonathan Greenard trade and pairing Van Ginkel/Turner with Wonnum to create a stronger pass-rush and overall playoff-ready unit.
