Minnesota Vikings insider hints at GM Nolan Teasley making a massive splash at the NFL trade deadline

Minnesota Vikings general manager Nolan Teasley is expected to be aggressive at the NFL trade deadline to put his stamp on the roster, according to Tyler Forness of A to Z Sports. During a discussion with Vikings radio broadcaster Paul Allen, beat writer Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune suggested Teasley would not rule out making a bold move, including a speculative run at Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter.

Forness argues that adding an elite interior defender would substantially elevate coordinator Brian Flores' defense. Highlighting Teasley's background with the Seattle Seahawks, Forness notes that the front office has a precedent of acquiring high-profile talent at the deadline before signing them to permanent contract extensions.
