The Minnesota Vikings needed to replace Za’Darius Smith after the edge rusher forced himself out of the locker room, and pairing someone with Danielle Hunter was a must. They landed on Marcus Davenport, giving him a $13 million contract, but he has given them almost nothing in return.
The Vikings Signed a Lemon
Out since early October with an ankle injury, Marcus Davenport ultimately decided to undergo surgery on the injury. He has been working his way back for months now, but it doesn’t seem he’ll be hitting the field soon.
Beyond just working through his rehab and attempting to regain a clean bill of health, it seems that the former New Orleans Saints player doesn’t have much of a motor to get back on the field.
