LB Ben Gedeon
Similar to Wilson, Gedeon will compete for the third linebacker spot.
If a player like rookie linebacker Troy Dye proves to better, then he might be out of a job. If not, he could fill out a role as a linebacker off the bench.
I think some of Gedeon’s outlook depends on Wilson’s ability and what the Vikings want to do with the linebacker spot alongside Kendricks and Barr. Do they want to go with the nickel most of the time and just have an OK player there, or do they want to use the 4-3 more and rely on a third linebacker? We’ll see.
Decision: Don’t re-sign, unless there’s a schematic change
