Purple Rumor Mill: Late-Summer Trade, Interest in Trey Lance, Lawrence Guy

NFL Uyen Ung — 08/27/2023

Remember — rumors are rumors. What you read on weekends in these pieces is what the world is talking about pertaining to the Vikings, not necessarily items that will come to fruition.

Here’s the second batch of the week. Yesterday’s can be read here.

Rumor: Because the Vikings were active last year in the trade market at this time on the calendar, another deal is likely on the way.

Last August, the Vikings swung deals for Nick Mullens, Jalen Reagor, and Ross Blacklock while also trading offensive lineman Jesse Davis to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

It’s probably a safe bet that Kwesi Adofo-Mensah will pull the trigger on at least one deal.

Minnesota could perhaps use an extra cornerback, so watch for names like Kristian Fulton (Tennessee Titans), C.J. Henderson (Carolina Panthers), or Amik Robertson (Las Vegas Raiders).

Tim Settle (Buffalo Bills), Grover Stewart (Indianapolis Colts), and Milton Williams could make sense if the Vikings want to add an extra defensive tackle after James Lynch’s season-ending injury.
