Vikings Undrafted Free Agent Thread

Hillsdale star Andre Holmes seeks a spot with Vikings


Some more stuff on Holmes.

It amazed me this morning, how many of these cats we have on the roster. Its almost as if the staff new they weren't going to be able to resign Rice.

Lets hope one or two of them works out.

Glad to see they replaced Rice with equal or greater talent.......

Oh wait!

LOL, you crack me up.

So far no one has steped forward and told me how great Bryzcheapski is today.

Considering they're signing players while only freeing up 2.5 mil in cap space while we were 4 over, I'd say there must be some sort of plan in effect.

McNabb on the cheap.
Second tier NT.
A kicker.
Second tier WR on the cheap.

Yup, I'm impressed.

Weren't you the one hacking on me the other day for saying how I would understand if they went out and brought in second tier players cause of the lack of funds?

That Andre Holmes could be a steal. He's got great size at 6'5" and speed, with his coach claiming he ran a 4.35 40 on campus!!

Here's a couple more lists, the first has some info on each:

The Minnesota Vikings have released the full list of the undrafted colleged free agents that they have signed. There are fourteen names on the list, but one name that is not among them is Kentucky running back Derrick Locke, who the team was rumored to have signed. That's because Locke failed his physical with the team, according to the Lexington Herald Leader.


"FYI — the Vikings failed me on my physical," (Locke) wrote. "It's all the info I can give right now and I will update you as I hear something."

So, here are the fourteen college free agents that the Vikings DID sign.

Chris Adingupu, safety, Prairie View
David Akinniyi, defensive end, North Carolina State
Conan Amituiana, guard, Arizona
Matt Asiata, running back, Utah
Larry Dean, linebacker, Valdosta State
Marcell Gipson, cornerback, Wyoming
Ryan Hill, safety, Miami (Fl.)
Andre Holmes, wide receiver, Hillsdale
Rod Huntley, guard, Texas-El Paso
Byron Isom, guard, Auburn
Dominique Johnson, wide receiver, Cal Poly
Allen Reisner, fullback/tight end, Iowa
Devon Torrance, cornerback/safety, THE Ohio State University [Ted wuz here]


Nathan Whitaker, kicker, Stanford
