Vikings make more moves, Bradbury goes to NE

(Eagan, MN) — The Minnesota Vikings made the trade for running back Jordan Mason official yesterday. The Georgia Tech product played for San Francisco last year, rushing for 789 yards. Minnesota sent a 2025 fifth-round pick along with a sixth-round pick in 2026 in exchange for Mason and a Niners’ sixth-round pick in this year’s draft. The Vikings also brought in a former third-overall draft pick. The Purple signed cornerback Jeff Okudah to a contract for the 2025 season yesterday. The 26-year-old has struggled to find success in the N-F-L. He played in just six games with Houston last season, mostly as a special teamer. The Vikes also added wide receiver Tim Jones as a free agent signing. He appeared in 51 games with the Jacksonville Jaguars over the past three years, catching 17 passes.

(Foxboro, MA) — The Patriots have filled a major hole along their offensive line. The Pats have signed free agent center Garrett Bradbury to a two-year contract. The deal is worth up to 12-million-dollars and includes a little under four-million-dollars fully guaranteed. Bradbury was released by the Minnesota Vikings on Monday, and replaces longtime New England center David Andrews, who was released last week.
