Vikings sign offensive lineman Whittle

Last update: March 3, 2006 - 2:24 PM

The Vikings signed free agent offensive lineman Jason Whittle to a one-year contract today, according to his agent, Joe Linta. Linta refused to provide any financial details.

Whittle, who was released by the New York Giants in a salary-cap move last week, has spent seven of his eight NFL seasons with the Giants. He can play both guard and center and is expected to compete for a starting spot at guard. “I think it’s a good fit,” Linta said.

Whittle appeared in 14 games last season but did not have any starts for the Giants; he started all 16 games for the Giants the previous year.
