After getting released by the Houston Texans on Friday, where will J.J. Watt end up this year?

Improving the defensive line is easily one of the top priorities for the Minnesota Vikings this offseason. During the 2020 campaign, Minnesota’s four guys up front struggled to stop the run, and they were barely able to generate a pass rush.

The performance of the Vikings defensive line should significantly improve with the returns of Danielle Hunter and Michael Pierce this year. But Minnesota should still be looking for some more help on the edge and at the three-technique spot next to Pierce.
