Player insights

Veteran edge rusher signed as possible stopgap to compete with second-round pick Derrick Moore for the starting job opposite Aidan Hutchinson. Wonnum has the upper hand entering camp due to starting experience. In his first four seasons with Minnesota, he made many starts filling in for injuries and proved dependable, contributing decent tackle numbers and 23 sacks (twice reaching 8). Spent last two seasons in Carolina in a smaller role with far less production. The source characterizes him as a capable addition and likely somewhat of an upgrade over Al-Quadin Muhammad.
