11 pass rushers the Vikings could target after trading Za’Darius Smith

Vikings USA TODAY Sports ZaDarius Smith the Minnesota Vikings Bruce Kluckhohn

The Minnesota Vikings did what most had been predicting over the last two months. They traded outside linebacker Za’Darius Smith and 2025 sixth and seventh-round picks to the Cleveland Browns for a 2024 fifth-round pick and 2025 fifth-round pick.

With the departure of Smith, that leaves a hole in the edge room and there are a few veteran options available for the Vikings to consider bringing in.

Here are 11 pass rushers the Vikings could target after trading Smith.
