This should go down in VikeFans infamy. The Vikes pulled off a big free agent move, amid free agency, without anyone noticing?

What?!

Well if we did/do sign him I like it!  ;) B)  Perhaps they’ve agreed to terms & haven’t finalized it yet?

I can't find any news about the signing anywhere, and only scant evidence that it already happened. So I'm just a little suspicious.

Man, he was forced to spend his Friday night guarding his business in Cinci. He stomped a guy trying to set fire to a neighboring store! I hope he gave that dude ALL of the aggression that builds up when your forced to stand alone against this shit.

This news stems from a couple articles written after he was interviewed about his night. I wonder if maybe Dre implied he has an offer and has already committed to the Vikings - maybe the author got it mixed up as he "signed?"

NFL.com and ESPN.com still have him listed as a UFA.
