Vikings roster analysis: Three storylines surrounding the linebackers

Eric Kendricks and Anthony Barr have established themselves as the Vikings’ best linebackers, but after that, the competition gets interesting.

Who’s the third linebacker?

Sure, Kendricks and Barr are both starters, but who will the third linebacker be when the Vikings employ a 4-3 at least occasionally in 2020?

The most enticing choice is Troy Dye, the rookie out of Oregon, though he might be more of a special teams player.

I’d say Eric Wilson is the most likely candidate to take the third linebacker spot, with Ben Gedeon also being an option.
