The Vikings have signed DT/DE Michael Montgomery. He played in 10 games for the Packers last season and he made 2 tackles. Montgomery has played in 56 games in his NFL career and he has made 123 tackles, defensed 3 passes, he forced 1 fumble and he has 5 sacks. He will probably play inside along the D-Line for the Vikings because of his size.
The Vikings have signed 27-year old kicker Rhys Lloyd. He will likely serve as nothing more than a kickoff specialist saving 35-year old Ryan Longwell’s leg in 2010. Lloyd kicked in all 16 games for the Panthers last season and he averaged 66.7 yards per kickoff with 21 touchbacks. Lloyd has now played in 35 games in his NFL career and he has averaged 67.0 yards per kickoff with 53 touchbacks. This was a great signing for the Vikings as Lloyd will pin the opposition deep on their end of the field a lot in 2010.
