Vikings' Jordan Ta'amu: Gets opportunity in Minnesota

Ta'amu signed a contract with the Vikings on Monday, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Ta'amu will get another chance in the NFL after a successful stint with the DC Defenders of the XFL, which saw him win the league's Offensive Player of the Year award. He'll work to make the best of his short time between now and the league's cut-down day of Aug. 29.
