The Minnesota Vikings continue to use the trade market to bolster weaknesses on their roster. On Tuesday they traded for Jacksonville Jaguars veteran left tackle Cam Robinson.
The Vikings sent a conditional fifth-round pick in 2026 that can become a fourth based on playing time and they receive back a conditional seventh from the Jags. ESPN’s Field Yates reports that it’s likely the Jaguars will be keeping some of Robinson’s remaining camp owed money to make the deal work.
Robinson, a second-round pick in 2017, has played 5,665 snaps at left tackle in his career and over the last four seasons he has ranked 19th, 29th, 16th and 33rd in pass blocking by PFF grade. He has given up 15 pressures , including four sacks this season. Brandel gave up seven sacks in 181 pass blocking snaps at left tackle as a fill-in player in 2022. He’s also been a quality starting left guard, so they would be making a sacrifice on the interior by moving him. Quessenberry has been strong in his swing tackle role but he hasn’t played more than 120 snaps at left tackle since 2020. Asking him to play 10 games in a row plus possibly playoff games would be a huge ask.
Trading for Robinson does not tap into the Vikings’ already-limited future draft capital in a significant way and gives them a chance to continue operating their offense similarly to when Darrisaw was at left tackle. Certainly Robinson will need more help than an All-Pro caliber player like Darrisaw but the other options would have required somewhat of an overhaul of Kevin O’Connell’s passing game.
