Still quite a few out there, including Clowney. But I wonder if the Vikings might be waiting to see what they have in Golday and/or Ingram-Dawkins before throwing money at a vet.

The Vikings did some roster shuffling on Tuesday.
They announced that they have signed tight end Marshall Lang and defensive lineman Jahvaree Ritzie. The two players are joining the team at the end of the offseason program and will have more work to look forward to at this summer's training camp.
Lang went undrafted last year and spent time on practice squads in New England and Seattle during the season. He had 48 catches for 491 yards and four touchdowns while at Northwestern.
Ritzie was also an undrafted rookie who spent time with the Patriots in 2025. He signed with the Steelers in January and was waived last month. He had 6.5 sacks during his final season at North Carolina.
The Vikings waived offensive tackle Caleb Etienne and defensive lineman Monkell Goodwine in corresponding moves.

Wouldn't think Jordan as a fit at OLB.
Not hand in glove but…
The Shift under Brandon Staley (3-4 Alignment) [1]
When defensive coordinator Brandon Staley implemented the 3-4 system, it created a unique transition for Jordan: [1, 2, 3]
Moving Out of the Interior: In previous years, Jordan was occasionally asked to kick inside to defensive tackle in certain packages, a role he openly disliked. [1]
Back to the Edge: Under Staley, Jordan was kept strictly on the perimeter. Depending on the package, this meant playing as a 5-technique defensive end (on the outside shoulder of the offensive tackle) or standing up as an outside pass-rushing linebacker. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
This perimeter focus paid off massively. Even at 36 years old, returning to his preferred home on the edge allowed him to log a team-leading 10.5 sacks. His continued elite play led the Saints to re-sign their all-time sack leader to a new contract extension. [1, 2, 3, 4]

He's a loser anyway, so no real loss there. Not the guy we needed in the locker room.
If you're going for older guys, I'd prefer guys like:
Kyle Van Noy
Von Miller
Leonard Floyd
Signing a 1 year rental fills the need short term. After the season ya still have to draft someone.
I'd rather the Vikings trade for an edge that has the possibility of being here long term.
Said this before, but I'd call Panthers and inquire about Patrick Jones. Panthers drafted and signed 2 Edges he might be odd man out. Flores and co.. would know what they're getting ,and he's affordable.

He played pretty well in the Flores D as I remember, played himself into a nice contract.
