6 free-agent offensive tackles the Vikings could sign in 2020
By Dean Jones
Kelvin Beachum
Kelvin Beachum has made the most of his NFL opportunity and the former seventh-round selection is now set to move on to a new adventure.
The New York Jets pulled off a masterstroke with the acquisition of Beachum and their offense has been far better whenever he is on the field. When he is out on the field there is no doubting Beachum’s credentials as a stout pass blocker that is equally as adept making holes in the running game.
Beachum played in 13 games last season in a struggling Jets offense and with him heading into the latter stages of his career, a move to a more established franchise in terms of making the playoffs might be a good chance for him to raise his game to new heights.
Minnesota would benefit from Beachum’s athleticism and versatility, although they might be priced out of landing him if he wants a deal that pays him more than the $8 million per year he earned over the last two seasons.
