The Minnesota Vikings have lost another player in free agency.
According to NFL Network’s Mike Garofolo, the Detroit Lions have agreed to terms with former Vikings outside linebacker Marcus Davenport.
The Lions needed to add an edge rusher opposite of Aidan Hutchinson and they do so in Davenport. At 6’6″ and 265 lbs, he provides a level of versatility on the edge.
For the Vikings, Davenport only played in four games and got injured two of them. Over his 118 snaps, Davenport looked the part with two sacks and seven pressures. Unfortunately, he couldn’t stay healthy and both sides ended up parting ways.
The Vikings will incur $6.8 million in dead cap with Davenport’s departure.
