NFC NORTH: Free agency roundup

Free agency is more than a week old now, and the four teams in the NFC North are still looking for pieces that can help their football teams.

Over the past week, the Packers did what they do, which is signing their own free agents. The Bears made a big push to help their defense.

The Lions re-signed two key defensive tackles and filled a big void at receiver with the signing of Marvin Jones.

The Vikings addressed needs along their offensive line and improved their depth on an already good defense.

Here’s a free agency recap so far for the four teams in the NFC North:

MINNESOTA

2015 record: 11-5 (won division)

Alex Boone

Key free-agent signings: RT Andre Smith; G Alex Boone; S Michael Griffin; LB Emmanuel Lamur; LB Travis Lewis; S Andrew Sendejo; G/T Mike Harris; CB Marcus Sherels; RB Matt Asiata

Big free-agent losses: WR Mike Wallace (Ravens)

Best acquisition: Boone steps in and takes over the left guard spot and is an immediate upgrade for the Vikings in the middle of their offensive line.
