Vikings ink Sheldon Richardson to one-year deal

The Minnesota Vikings have signed defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson to a one-year deal, report ESPN's Adam Schefter.

What It Means:

The Vikings make their second splashy move of the week as they add the big man up front. At 27, Richardson is coming off of a nice year with the Seattle Seahawks, who were unable to retain the one-time Pro Bowler. He makes the Vikings' defense that much better for 2018.

In 15 games, Richardson tallied 27 tackles, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble and 1 interception in 2017.
