First with quarterback Matt Cassel, and then with defensive end Everson Griffen, the Vikings crossed two priorities off their offseason to-do list by agreeing to terms on new deals with each of them. They've also re-signed cornerback/punt returner Marcus Sherels and backup linebacker Larry Dean, a valuable special teams player,Wholesale Football Jerseys 2018, and agreed on a contract with middle linebacker Jasper Brinkley, who will return to the team to compete for the starting job after one year with Arizona.
Cassel's two-year deal for as much as $10 million will either make him a rich backup or an underpaid starter, depending on how the quarterback the Vikings draft this spring develops. But that took care of the team's biggest need on offense. After splurging on wide receiver Greg Jennings last year, the Vikings are on track to use more modest contracts for free agents and some of their draft picks to address the other positions of need on offense. Their biggest holes are still on defense, a group that allowed a league-most 30 points per game. |
