Today the Minnesota Vikings signed another defensive lineman.  The team announced they signed Corey Wootton, the former Chicago Bears defensive lineman who had a very solid 2012 season, before missing last year to a hip injury.

#Vikings obviously felt okay about Wootton’s surgically repaired hip.

Covered the #Bears for 10 seasons, and I can honestly say Wootton may be the nicest guy to have ever stepped foot in that locker room

Wootton is coming off hip surgery, but is only 26 and had seven sacks in 2012. Long-armed linemen who could fit well in Zimmer’s system.
