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.
