In a move to keep the offensive line that lead the way for Adrian Peterson's epic 2,097 yards rushing last season intact, the Minnesota Vikings have resigned right tackle to a multi-year deal rumored to be worth over $5 million per year.
With the Chicago Bears also reportedly interested, the Minnesota Vikings reached the agreement a short time before 3:00 pm today, the time free agency officially began for NFL teams and players.
With the Vikings trading Percy Harvin to the Seattle Seahawks yesterday, along with releasing longtime corner back Antoine Winfield earlier today, this is a good signing and one general manager Rick Spielman said was a priority earlier this off-season.
While the Vikings do have an abundance of draft picks in the upcoming NFL draft, it could prove to pay dividends resigning a key player on one of the leagues best NFL lines.
Along with Loadholt, the Minnesota Vikings also agreed earlier toady to a 1 year deal with wide receiver Jerome Simpson. Terms of each contract have not been officially announced.
