The Minnesota Vikings are adding depth at linebacker.

The team announced the signing of former Cincinnati Bengals outside linebacker Emmanuel Lamur on Thursday, following the opening of NFL free agency on Wednesday.

The move reunites Lamur with former Bengals defensive coordinator and current Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer.

Lamur appeared in 16 games for the Bengals last season, including two starts, recording 32 tackles and 0.5 sacks.

An undrafted free agent out of Kansas State, Lamur signed with the Bengals in 2012 and had his best season in the NFL in 2014, when he started in 13 games and picked up 90 tackles and two interceptions.
