The Minnesota Vikings have re-signed defensive tackle Tom Johnson.
The move brings back one of their starters last season for more depth up front.
Johnson was a key offseason addition in free agency by Seattle. The Seahawks surprisingly released him last week to promote a player from the practice squad but hoped to re-sign Johnson.
But the Vikings swooped in to snag a player who had 16 sacks and started 27 games for them over the last four years. Johnson will back up Sheldon Richardson.
