The Minnesota Vikings<\/a> have roughly $13 million in salary cap space, per Over the Cap. As a result, new Vikings general manager Nolan Teasley could make a move to solidify a position he believes remains a weakness for the team.<\/p>\n Teasley will have the final say on the 53-man roster, and one potential area for improvement is the pass rush. Minnesota traded away Jonathan Greenard this offseason to the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a>. Furthermore, signing a veteran pass rusher would take off all the pressure from Dallas Turner to solely replace Greenard\u2019s production.<\/p>\n In a June 7 video from his YouTube channel<\/a>, former Vikings linebacker Ben Leber shared one veteran pass rusher that he feels makes sense for Minnesota: Kyle Van Noy. <\/p>\n \u201cThe second guy, now this one, I know that you\u2019re just gonna say, \u2018Oh yeah, this guy\u2019s been a stud his whole career.\u2019 Kyle Van Noy,\u201d Leber said. \u201cI mean, all this guy ever does is wreck games. I mean, if there\u2019s a big moment in a big-time game late, Kyle Van Noy just somehow makes the play or is a big factor in the play.\u201d<\/p>\n Last season with the Baltimore Ravens<\/a>, the 35-year-old played 493 total snaps, earning a 63.0 overall PFF defensive grade<\/a>. Van Noy also generated 27 total pressures, two sacks, 17 hurries, and eight QB hits. Moreover, against the run, he recorded 14 solo tackles.<\/p>\n Kyle Van Noy Might Still Have Football Left in His Tank<\/p>\n Furthermore, Leber believes Van Noy might have something left in the tank despite producing only two sacks for the Ravens in a down season for Baltimore, which missed the playoffs. <\/p>\n \u201cTwo years ago, dude, he had 12.5 sacks,\u201d Leber added. \u201cLast year, not so much, only two sacks last year. But who knows what went into that. Again, another guy, he\u2019s an older veteran, he\u2019s well into his 30s, I think 35. <\/p>\n \u201cBut for a few million bucks<\/a>, you don\u2019t have to spend all $13 million that we have in surplus. You spend a few million bucks and you get a guy that\u2019s played in big-time games for some big-time organizations, and all he does is make plays. I really like the idea of Kyle Van Noy.\u201d<\/p>\n Could the Vikings Look at Another Veteran Edge Rusher?<\/p>\n The Vikings hired Nolan Teasley as their next general manager, and he comes from the\u00a0Seattle Seahawks<\/a>, where the team leaned on pass-rushing depth to fuel its Super Bowl run. Because of that, Teasley might want to follow that blueprint in Minnesota.\u00a0<\/p>\n Seattle also leaned on veteran DeMarcus Lawrence to get to the QB last season. As a result, could Teasley decide to beef up the pass rush with another veteran so as not to put a lot on Turner\u2019s and others\u2019 plates? FanSided\u2019s Justin Carter believes so.\u00a0In a May 31 article<\/a>, he stated that Teasley should consider signing free agent pass rusher Cameron Jordan.<\/p>\n \u201cI really think any team in need of pass-rushing help needs to get on the phone with Cameron Jordan\u2019s agent, \u201c\u00a0Carter wrote. \u201cThe 36-year-old recorded 10.5 sacks last season but remains unsigned.<\/p>\n \u201cMaybe this is a Harrison Smith situation where he\u2019s waiting things out before either retiring or returning to the Saints, but even if it is that, it can\u2019t hurt to try, and if you get rebuffed then you can turn to the rest of the list of still-available edge rushers.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tEduardo Razo<\/a> Eduardo Razo is a sports writer for Heavy.com, covering the NFL, MLB, and college football.
