Links of the Week(end): Will He Or Won’t He?
The Minnesota Vikings came out of the initial free agency waive with backup quarterback Shaun Hill as their only unrestricted free agent signing. The team allowed four of their own unrestricted free agents to sign elsewhere, which means they are currently “plus three” for possible 2016 compensatory picks, for those keeping track at home.
A trade for wide out Mike Wallace meant Greg Jennings was sent packing and a recent signing of DuJuan Harris provides a little depth at running back. That signing will have zero impact on the outcome of the ongoing Adrian Peterson saga, but there is no doubt that the future of #28 is currently the hottest topic out there, and probably will be until it is resolved.
