'Totally false': Mike Zimmer denies Richie Incognito's claim Vikings reached out

The Vikings might be looking to bring in an extra offensive lineman, depending on the health of some injured players.

One of them will not be free agent veteran Richie Incognito, according to head coach Mike Zimmer. Incognito, the 35-year-old, four-time Pro Bowler, said in a recent interview with TMZ that he’s received calls from “Minnesota, Seattle, I really just don’t want to go to training camp, so we’ll see.”

“No interest and totally false,” Zimmer said. “Tweet that.”

If the Vikings did have interest, it doesn’t appear they do anymore. Other free agent interior linemen include ex-Texans guard Jeff Allen, former 49ers guard Zane Beadles and veteran journeyman Allen Barbre.
