Vikings Sign Former Steelers Interior Lineman Isaiahh Loudermilk

The move provides veteran depth to a reworked defensive interior with Loudermilk set to compete for a rotational spot during spring practices and training camp.

Overview

  • Isaiahh Loudermilk signed with the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday, May 21, 2026, leaving the Pittsburgh Steelers after five seasons to join Minnesota's offseason program.
  • Loudermilk is a 6-foot-7, 293-pound interior lineman who was a fifth-round pick in 2021 and has appeared in roughly 60 NFL games with about 63 career tackles and six pass deflections.
  • He missed most of the 2025 season because of injuries, appearing in only two games and spending time on injured reserve, which limited his recent market value.
  • The signing fills a depth need created by Minnesota's offseason reshaping of the defensive interior that included the releases of veteran linemen and the addition of rookie defenders.
  • Terms of Loudermilk's deal have not been disclosed but coverage treats it as a low-cost, likely near-minimum signing that will be evaluated in spring work and training camp and could help the Vikings shore up their run defense if he stays healthy.
