The Vikings are acquiring OT Cam Robinson from the Jaguars in exchange for draft pick compensation

Minnesota, looking to stay afloat in a hotly contested NFC North, started the season 5-0 before losing its last two and finishing third in the division. Replacing Darissa with Robinson is hardly an even swap, but midway through the season, enough offensive line help is hard to come by, and the Vikings brought in a veteran bookend who could be a great fit considering all the circumstances, as NFL.com noted earlier Tuesday. By Kevin Potter.

Robinson, who holds a 69.4 PFF overall grade and has allowed four sacks this season, has made 91 career starts since being selected in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft by the Jaguars.

The 29-year-old Robinson, who is in the final season of his current contract, is the second lineman sent away by the Jaguars this offseason after defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris was traded to the Seattle Seahawks on Oct. 14.

For the 2-6 Jaguars, this could be seen as a sign that Jacksonville's focus has shifted to 2025, but at the same time, Robinson did not play in the Jags' Sunday loss to the Green Bay Packers.

For the Vikings, however, it's a clear indicator that general manager Wesey Adofo-Mensah is going to do what he can to keep the Vikings' hopes high after their recent stumble. Robinson could be the best possible acquisition to help Minnesota's offensive line.
