Holt, Griffin and Sharper

HOLT
I’ve been a little caught up in March Madness, so this isn’t exactly breaking news. No the Vikings didn’t sign wide receiver, Torry Holt because that would make too much sense. However, they did finally land a Bengal’s receiver. Who wants Housh when you can have Glenn Holt?!?

Holt is receiver, but he was signed more because of his kick return ability. Last year in Cincy, Holt averaged 24.1 yards per kickoff return. It is expected that Holt will battle Darius Reynaud for the Vikes kick return job.

GRIFFIN
In addition to signing Holt, the Vikes also gave an extension to Cedric “Showtime” Griffin. Griffin was set to be a Free Agent after the upcoming season. Griffin was drafted in the second round of the 2006 NFL Draft by the Vikes and he has started 38 of 46 games. He has 223 tackles, three picks and seven forced fumbles as a pro.

Griffin is kindda odd because some games he looks like a pretty solid cornerback and then others he is a disaster. All in all this is fine for the Vikes. I’m guessing they didn’t exactly “break the bank” to give the contract extension.

SHARPER
Oh yeah and Darren Sharper signed with the Saints. Good riddance!
