Offensive Tackle Jake Long signs with Minnesota Vikings
The Minnesota Vikings are having some major injury issues along their offensive line, and have added former #1 overall draft pick tackle Jake Long to help.
Staying healthy on the offensive line seems to be a major problem for the Minnesota Vikings during the 2016 NFL season. Through just five weeks of the NFL season, the team has played 4 different offensive tackles, and now a big name could join that list.
The Minnesota Vikings announced today on their official website that the team has signed offensive tackle Jake Long. No term of the deal were announced, but the fact of the matter was that the Vikings needed help immediately and Long presented the best possible option in free agency.
