Former Minnesota Vikings safety George Iloka joining the Cowboys

When the Minnesota Vikings signed George Iloka in free agency, many fans wondered how productive he would be when paired with former Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer now that he’s the head coach of the purple and gold.

To be polite, the experiment didn’t quite meet expectations. Despite an injury to Andrew Sendejo, Iloka only started three games for Minnesota and played 116 defensive snaps for the Vikings while participating in 238 special teams plays.

Even with Minnesota moving on from Andrew Sendejo and only placing a tender on Anthony Harris, Minnesota did not bring George Iloka back for the 2019 NFL season and he will be spending the upcoming season in Dallas.
