Vikings signing former AAF pass rusher Karter Schult

Another former Alliance of American Football defender is signing with the Vikings.

Defensive end Karter Schult, the Northern Iowa product who tried out for the Vikings during a rookie minicamp last year, is expected to sign with Minnesota on Tuesday, according to a league source.

Schult, 25, had seven sacks in eight games for the Salt Lake Stallions of the now-defunct AAF, which folded this month. The Tripoli, Iowa native has had stints on the Panthers and Browns rosters since going undrafted in 2017.

Schult is the third former AAF defender signed by the Vikings this month, joining safety Derron Smith and cornerback Duke Thomas.
