By signing Reserve/Futures contracts, these players will be eligible to participate in offseason workouts, minicamps, OTA’s and training camp to ultimately compete for a spot on next season’s 53-man roster or 10-man practice squad.
Vikes better sign more than some CFL players to ever get past 1 and done in the playoffs!!
