Jahleel Addae working out for Vikings
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the team is bringing safety Jahleel Addae in for a workout.
He was a starter for his final four seasons with the Chargers, but the presence of Harrison Smith and Anthony Harris in Minnesota means he’d be playing a backup role again this season. Sixth-round pick Josh Metellus and seventh-rounder Brian Cole are the current depth options for the Vikings.

Its a shame Kearse didnt work out.
Thats a lot of effort expended to replace him.
This might be a spot (3rd safety/special teams) that will see a total erase of the current board, as there are some nice and potentially cheap fa S options available:
