Linebacker Kyle Van Noy, 35, signs with Vikings, reports say - ESPN

MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Vikings agreed Tuesday night to sign 13-year veteran outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy, according to multiple reports.

Van Noy, 35, played the last three seasons with the Baltimore Ravens. He followed up a career year in 2024 with one of his most disappointing seasons last year, struggling to generate consistent pressure. He finished his last campaign with just two sacks, ending a run of six straight seasons with at least five.

But with the Vikings, he should provide some needed depth and experience at the edge rusher position, where Andrew Van Ginkel and Dallas Turner give Minnesota a dynamic set of starters but the rest of the depth chart is largely unproven.

Jonathan Greenard was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles for salary cap savings in April, and second-year prospect Tyler Batty suffered a season-ending knee injury in the last preseason game Friday.

Bo Richter, an undrafted free agent addition in 2024, and Chaz Chambliss, an undrafted free agent addition in 2025, are currently the top two backups on the roster. Rookie Jake Golday, who has primarily worked at inside linebacker, was drafted in the second round for his potential to play on the edge in a Van Ginkel-like role.

Van Noy, who will join his fifth team in seven years, earned his first Pro Bowl selection in 2024 after posting 12½ sacks. Drafted in the second round in 2014 out of BYU by the Detroit Lions, Van Noy was traded to the New England Patriots midway through the 2016 season.

With the Patriots, he had current Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores as his position coach and played in three straight Super Bowls, winning two. During the 2018 postseason, Van Noy had three sacks and a forced fumble in three games. He also played
