Possible Destinations For Former Saints OLB Junior Galette

3.  MINNESOTA VIKINGS

Head coach Mike Zimmer is looking to make his defense in the Twin Cities what he had when he was the defensive coordinator with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Everson Griffin has the right defensive end locked down most likely but it’s the left side that could use some help.

Brian Robison had the worst year of his career in 2014 where he only registered four sacks with two of those coming against weak teams like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Washington Redskins.

He graded out poorly in both pass rush with a -8.3 and in run support with -6.7, which the Vikings are hoping is a fluke.

Behind Robison is rookie B.J. Dubose who was a sixth round selection for the team out of Louisville.

Zimmer has always been able to relate to players and pull the best out of them when he was in Cincinnati while also remaining very frank and open.

I vividly remember in 2009 him getting his Bengals defense ready for a practice and when injured linebacker Rey Maualuga, who wasn’t participating, tried to join in Zimmer ribbed him by saying, “Hey what’s up hurt guy?  I don’t talk to hurt guys.”

For Galette it could be the wake up call he needs and the pass rush that the Vikings are wanting.
