The Minnesota Vikings have agreed to sign outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy, a 35-year-old 13-year veteran who brings experience and depth to a position group that has lost key contributors and faces an uncertain future.
A Career Year Followed by a Down Turn
Van Noy, 35, spent the last three seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, where he posted a career-best 12½ sacks in 2024 to earn his first Pro Bowl selection. However, his 2025 campaign was one of his most disappointing, as he finished with just two sacks and ended a streak of six consecutive seasons with at least five.
The veteran will join his fifth team in seven years, having previously played for the Detroit Lions, New England Patriots, Miami Dolphins, and Los Angeles Chargers. His career totals 57 sacks across 173 regular-season games, showcasing a long and productive run at the outside linebacker position.
Addressing a Thin Edge Rushing Depth Chart
Minnesota's edge rusher group has been significantly reshaped, with Jonathan Greenard traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in April and second-year prospect Tyler Batty suffering a season-ending knee injury in the final preseason game. The remaining backups, Bo Richter and Chaz Chambliss, are unproven, while rookie Jake Golday was drafted for his potential to play on the edge.
Van Noy is expected to provide much-needed depth and experience alongside starters Andrew Van Ginkel and Dallas Turner. His familiarity with defensive coordinator Brian Flores, who served as his position coach with the Patriots, adds another layer of comfort to his transition into the Vikings' defensive scheme.
Looking Ahead to the Season Opener
The Vikings will kick off the regular season at home against NFC North rival Green Bay Packers on Sept. 13. With Van Noy's addition, the team aims to strengthen its defensive front as it prepares for a challenging start to the campaign.
Van Noy's history with the Patriots includes three straight Super Bowl appearances, winning two, and a standout 2018 postseason with three sacks and a forced fumble in three games. His track record of success with Flores and his veteran savvy make him a valuable piece for Minnesota's defensive plans.
