Vikings fans may finally get the signing they wanted months ago

One of the most talked-about rumors during the 2025 offseason for the Minnesota Vikings involved the team potentially adding free agent Asante Samuel Jr. to their cornerback room.

To the surprise of some, a deal was never made between the Vikings and Samuel, but now, some new information has the potential to result in the free-agent corner actually landing with Minnesota.

On Monday, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler shared that Samuel has reportedly been cleared to return to the field after recovering from a spine injury, and he's already been in talks with multiple teams.
