Vikings Eye Christian Rozeboom as LB Target

Minnesota could pivot to Christian Rozeboom of the Carolina Panthers if Eric Wilson's market becomes too high, aiming to bolster linebacker depth.

Eric Wilson performed well for Minnesota in 2025, but his age and potential contract demands may push the team toward cheaper alternatives. According to Bleacher Report, Christian Rozeboom of the Carolina Panthers is a strong candidate to replace him.

Rozeboom, 29, led the Panthers with 45 stops last season and has a history of high tackle counts from his time with the Rams. Safety Nick Scott praised Rozeboom's consistency, noting he has "held his own" whenever given the chance, making him an ideal fit for Brian Flores' system.
