The Vikings have signed linebacker Derrick Pope.  The 25-year old will battle for a starting job in Minnesota.  He played in 16 games with the Dolphins last season and he made 64 tackles, defensed 3 passes and had 3 interceptions.  Pope has now played in 55 games in his NFL career and he has made 149 tackles, defensed 3 passes, has 2 sacks and 2 interceptions.  Signing Pope was a good move for the Vikings.
