Vikings Sign Veteran CB Tye Smith

The Minnesota Vikings used a smidgen of their newly-available $14-15 million in cap space on Wednesday.

Per Josina Anderson, the team reportedly signed Tye Smith, a cornerback the previously played for the Tennessee Titans.

The move should be considered a “depth” move as Smith is not a tried-and-true starting CB, at least not to date. Drafted in the 5th Round of the 2015 NFL Draft — the place where the Vikings found Stefon Diggs 24 spots prior– Smith has spent time with the Seahawks and Titans. So far in his six-year career, he’s played in 40 games while starting in seven of those contests.
