Minnesota Vikings
Vikings' improvement
Positive
The Vikings bolstered their interior defensive line by agreeing to terms with Jonathan Allen.
Minnesota is looking to add that impact to go along with other pressure it successfully applied from the edge and from blitzers.
Allen was a first-round pick of the Commanders in 2017 and has a track record of pressuring passers.

Allen's experience
Positive
He adds 109 regular-season games (108 starts) of experience.
A torn pectoral muscle in Week 6 sidelined him for much of the 2024 season, but he returned for the Commanders' final two games of the regular season and helped Washington advance to the NFC Championship Game.
