The fullback, who became a restricted free agent when the Vikings gave him the low tender earlier this off-season, has reportedly signed a 1-year, $1.4 million offer sheet with the Cincinnati Bengals, and will now wait to see if the Vikings elect to match.

As a pair of Temple students, Aaron and I are thrilled to hear that the Eagles have signed DT/FB and former Owl Dan Klecko to a one-year deal.
