This is the fourth addition to the DL, joining fellow newcomers Linval Joseph, Tom Johnson, and Kheeston Randall. Wooton&#8217;s first career sack was the hit that ended Brett Favre&#8217;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&#8217;s a one-year $1.5 million deal for Wooton, and he&#8217;ll likely be backing up Everson Griffen and Brian Robison at defensive end (but he has taken snaps at defensive tackle in Chicago). <\/p>\n<p>Before the latest signing, <a href=\"http:\/\/vikingsterritory.com\/2014\/freeagency\/minnesota-vikings-free-agency-update-potential-depth-chart\" target=\"_blank\">Arif Hasan<\/a> drew up the likely depth chart:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Vikings-Depth-Chart-3-20-14-Arif.png\" alt=\"Vikings Depth Chart 3-20-14 (Arif)\" width=\"714\" height=\"521\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24767\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Vikings-Depth-Chart-3-20-14-Arif.png 714w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Vikings-Depth-Chart-3-20-14-Arif-150x109.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/Vikings-Depth-Chart-3-20-14-Arif-480x350.png 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 714px) 100vw, 714px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>All the new signings leave the Vikings with a reported $12 million for further free agency signings and their 2014 draft class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been an unusually busy free agency period for the Minnesota Vikings, as they announced another signing yesterday: former Chicago defensive lineman Corey Wooton.
