Ed Ingram comes to a new team, but he's likely to be familiar with the Texans' new offensive concepts and will be surrounded by some faces he know in the locker room.

Overview

  • The Minnesota Vikings traded guard Ed Ingram to the Houston Texans in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round draft pick.
  • Ingram, a second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, started 41 games for the Vikings but struggled in pass protection and was benched in 2024.
  • The trade helps the Vikings clear $3.4 million in salary cap space for 2025, following their recent signings of interior linemen Ryan Kelly and Will Fries.
  • The Texans, who have been overhauling their offensive line, recently traded left tackle Laremy Tunsil and guard Kenyon Green while signing free agent guard Laken Tomlinson.
  • Ingram is entering the final year of his rookie contract and is expected to compete for a starting role or provide depth for Houston.
