The Minnesota Vikings have signed Punter, Johnny Hacker, to a one-year deal filling out

their special teams unit.

With Will Ryker back on his rookie contract, and long snapper Andrew DiPola secured on

a new deal, this move completes the puzzle for Interim.

General Manager Roper Zinsky, Hacker brings serious credentials as a Super Bowl champion

from his Los Angeles Rams days and a four-time pro-bola.

He spent last season with the Tennessee Titans after playing for the Carolina Panthers, stepping

in after the Vikings lost Ryan Wright to the new, Orlean Saints in Free Agency.

NFL media reporters Ian Rapproport and Tom Pulitzer-O shared the news Tuesday night, with no financial

terms released yet.
