Vikings add to O-line depth
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — The Minnesota Vikings made a pair of minor moves to change some of the depth along its offensive line.
Minnesota signed guard Tyler Holmes, a rookie from Tulsa, on Monday, waiving wide receiver Kris Adams. Holmes had participated in the Vikings' rookie mini-camp on a tryout a week ago. A day later, the team added rookie offensive tackle Kevin Murphy from Harvard while releasing offensive tackle Jose Valdez.
Adams spent part of last season on Minnesota's practice squad. Valdez was signed after the season ended.
A month into their offseason program, the Vikings have 80 players on the current roster and are hoping to add their 10 draft picks to the mix soon by signing them to deals in the coming weeks. The team has had good participation in the first phase of the offseason program and Minnesota opens its organized team activities on May 29.
