Good news for the Minnesota Vikings…..

Vikings trade left guard Ezra Cleveland to Jacksonville

Dalton Risner will stay in the starting left guard spot.

After sending a sixth-round pick to the Arizona Cardinals for quarterback Josh Dobbs and a seventh-round pick, the Minnesota Vikings stayed active by trading left guard Ezra Cleveland to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Vikings have confirmed they are receiving a sixth-round pick for Cleveland, who was due to become an unrestricted free agent after the season.

Ben Goessling of the Star Tribune says the sixth-round pick in 2024 is from Carolina from last year’s Laviska Shenault Jr. trade.

Cleveland was Minnesota’s starting left guard the first six weeks of the season before a foot injury kept him out of the past two games.

Dalton Risner has started the past two games at left guard and Minnesota’s offensive line hasn’t missed a beat, ranking third overall in pass blocking this season and sixth in run blocking, according to Pro Football Reference.
