Minnesota Vikings: Right tackle position clearly up for grabs
The Minnesota Vikings appear to have a competition going on between T.J. Clemmings and Andre Smith.
Who will play right tackle for the Minnesota Vikings in 2016?
Andre Smith was supposed to be the answer to that question. But not so fast.
It appears as of today that the Vikings have not yet settled on a starting right tackle.
Smith was going to square off against Phil Loadholt for the right tackle job but that went out the window when Loadholt failed to come back from last year’s Achilles tear and retired.
Some were ready to hand the starting job to Andre Smith after Loadholt called it quits, but Mike Zimmer, Tony Sparano and the gang were not so quick to make that assumption.
