The Minnesota Vikings have been busy on the first day of free agency, earlier filling a need along the offensive line and now filling a need at the safety position.
While the Miami Dolphins got the biggest catch of the free agents by signing WR Mike Wallace, the Minnesota Vikings managed to keep some of their free agents today. The Chicago Bears had interest in offensive lineman Phil Loadholt, but the Vikings signed him to a multi-year deal.
While not a blockbuster deal, the Vikings have signed a free agent. Perhaps they are looking at the successful Patriots offense that features 2 talented tight ends and a great slot receiver in Wes Welker. This signing gives them 2 young and talented tight ends to put on the field with Percy Harvin.
