It’s been an unusually busy free agency period for the Minnesota Vikings, as they announced another signing yesterday: former Chicago defensive lineman Corey Wooton. This is the fourth addition to the DL, joining fellow newcomers Linval Joseph, Tom Johnson, and Kheeston Randall. Wooton’s first career sack was the hit that ended Brett Favre’s career on the icy turf of TCF Bank Stadium in 2010 (co-incidentally, the same venue the Vikings will be calling home for the next two years). It’s a one-year $1.5 million deal for Wooton, and he’ll likely be backing up Everson Griffen and Brian Robison at defensive end (but he has taken snaps at defensive tackle in Chicago).
Before the latest signing, Arif Hasan drew up the likely depth chart:
All the new signings leave the Vikings with a reported $12 million for further free agency signings and their 2014 draft class.
