Scraping the bottom of the barrel.  Good thing they restructured Hunter.

Is anyone familiar with him? Seems like a depth signing, which is needed just not exciting. Feels like any impact additions will come through the draft.

He would have killed Forrest Greg.

Really different frame and athleticism than the tall, lean, fast prospects we have preferred lately...seems like he could be a 3-4 DE when we show that lineup.

Wonder if he's more of a base end?

Clearly not big enough for DL.  There was no plumbers crack on the tree tackle.

Does he count as someone who wanted to play for Zimmer?

New #Vikings DE Anthony Zettel started all 16 games for Detroit in 2017 and had 6 1/2 sacks. He's played in 25 games since then without any sacks.

In the battle to replace Everson Griffen, the #Vikings have on the roster Ifeadi Odenigbo, who had seven sacks last season and can play inside and outside, Anthony Zettel, a former starter with Detroit, & Eddie Yarbrough, former starter with Buffalo. Also have PS guy Stacy Keely.
