Free Agency carlosfusa on 17 Apr 2007

Vikings sign WR Cortez Hankton

Cortez Hankton signed with the Minnesota Vikings on Monday, leaving Jacksonville after four seasons and joining a team needing to bolster its receivers. Hankton had 34 catches for 310 yards and two touchdowns with Jacksonville. He signed as a rookie free agent out of Texas Southern and has contributed mostly on special teams. The Vikings' receiving game was mediocre last season, with former first-round draft pick Troy Williamson struggling with drops. Minnesota signed Tennessee's Bobby Wade in March and most likely will try to strengthen its receiving at the April 28-29 draft.

Vikings Sign Doss

The Vikings have signed free agent S Mike Doss to a 1-year contract. The team announced the agreement this morning. According to NFL.com, the contract is worth $1 million.

The Indianapolis Colts drafted Doss in the second round of the 2003 Draft. In that season, he started 15 games at strong safety and had 101 tackles, and one interception.

In 2004 he sustained hamstring injury, missing four games, and then suffered a groin injury in another game, missing two more. Despite these injuries, he had 49 tackles, one sack, and two interceptions that season.

In May 2005 Doss was charged with a felony weapons charge and three misdemeanor charges after police estimated hearing five to six gunshots outside a local restaurant. He was sentenced to 40 hours of community service and a one thousand dollar fine after pleading no contest to the charges.

The Vikings are also talking to two free agent receivers: Colts WR Aaron Moorehead, who wrapped up a visit Tuesday, and Jaguars WR Cortez Hankton, who is scheduled to depart tonight.

Broncos May Workout With Vikings

The Broncos are seeking the opportunity to work against another team this year in training camp. The ideal situation is to work against a team in the days before Denver’s first preseason game. The Broncos worked out at Houston for a couple of days in 2005 before playing the Texans there.

The Broncos may open the preseason at Minnesota or San Francisco. Vikings coach Brad Childress and 49ers coach Mike Nolan said they would be open to working with the Broncos. The NFL likely will release the preseason schedule in early April.

There are potential logistical problems at both San Francisco and Minnesota.

“If we had all the locker room and field space, I’d love to do it,” Nolan said. “It’s not impossible, but it could be difficult. It’d be a great to get the extra work, and it would be fun for fans to see two teams out there working.”

KRO Gets 90 Days In Jail

Former Minnesota Vikings receiver Koren Robinson will have to serve 90 days in jail for fleeing police last August, a prosecutor said.

Robinson was sentenced in Nicollet County Court on Tuesday for leading officers on a high-speed chase from St. Peter to Mankato during Vikings training camp.

Assistant County Attorney Paul Tanis said Robinson will be on probation for three years. He’ll also have to do 80 hours of community service and pay a $1,500 fine.

Robinson is now with the Green Bay Packers.

Tanis said Robinson is to report to the county jail by March 1, although he can arrange to serve the 90-day sentence in Wisconsin if he choses to do so.

Robinson can also serve the sentence at the same time he serves 90 days for violating his probation in a separate drunken-driving case in Kirkland, Wash., last year.

Robinson showed remorse in court Tuesday - saying he’s been attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and trying to avoid alcohol.
