NFL free agency has begun, and we're keeping track of every major signing, trade and release of the 2025 offseason, with analysis from our NFL Nation reporters and grades from our experts. The new league year began March 12.

Allen, 30, was a first-round pick for Washington back in 2017, and has since amassed 42 sacks, 401 tackles, 60 tackles for loss, 118 quarterback hits, five passes defended and forced two fumbles. Defensive tackle was certainly an area of need for the Vikings entering free agency, and signing Allen will certainly give the line a boost.

Even after a 14-3 season, the Vikings have plenty of holes to fill, and with few draft picks, general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah could be a major player in free agency for a second straight year.

Pro Football Focus (PFF) released free agency grades for all 32 teams on Friday, and the Vikings were deemed the best performers, receiving an A+ grade from the organization. PFF
