Sorry.Ken Blaze-USA TODAY SportsSince the Alliance of American Football folded, the Minnesota Vikings have been bringing in all sorts of players from the league, and on Monday night they added another one.NFL Draft Diamonds is reporting that the Vikings are signing defensive Karter Schult to a deal.Schult played for the Salt Lake Stallions. . .our adopted team. . .in the AAF, and wound up third in the league with seven sacks in the Stallions’ eight games.Schult went undrafted out of the University of Northern Iowa in 2017, and spent the 2017 preseason with the Cleveland Browns. The Vikings actually invited him in for a tryout during the 2018 offseason, but ultimately decided not to sign him.As you can probably gather from his sack numbers, Schult was one of the better defensive linemen in the AAF. The folks from Pro Football Focus had him graded as the seventh-best edge defender in the league with an overall grade of 81.3.Schult is now the third player from the AAF that has signed with Minnesota Marcus Epps Jersey nfl draft , joining safety Derron Smith and cornerback Duke Thomas, both of whom played for the San Antonio Commanders.There’s really no harm in the Vikings taking a flier on Schult. He’s shown the ability to get to the passer, and that’s something you can’t have enough of in this league. Will be be able to crack the Vikings’ 53-man roster? Well, we’re all going to find out.UPDATE: According to Ian Rapoport, it’s been a pretty big week for Schult. With the Minnesota Vikings off-season now in full swing, there have been some personnel matters that have already been addressed, with lots of others yet to come. We already know that GM Rick Spielman and head coach Mike Zimmer will both return Youth Marcus Epps Jersey , but there will be some openings on the staff. We knew that the offensive coordinator position was going to have to be filled permanently, either with interim OC Kevin Stefanski, or another candidate. Stefanski is going to interview for the Browns head coaching job, so he might not be available.One named that is rumored to be in the running for the OC job is one that many fans are familiar with, if you’ve ever watched the HBO series Hard Knocks:On the surface, that makes a lot of sense. Jackson was the offensive coordinator in Cincinnati when Mike Zimmer was the defensive coordinator under then head coach Marvin Lewis. As the Bengals OC, he guided the Bengals to the seventh best scoring offense in the NFL in 2015 Womens Marcus Epps Jersey , and Cincinnati went 12-4 that season, winning the AFC North. And while he was an OC,he was widely regarded as one of the best assistants in the NFL, which is one of the reasons he got the head coaching job for Cleveland in 2016.But therein lies the rub. As the head coach of the Browns, Jackson turned out to be one of the more incompetent coaches in recent memory. The Browns went 1-15, 0-16, and then 2-5-1 before he was fired halfway through this last season. When he was replaced with Gregg Williams Ameer Abdullah Jersey , the Browns went on a tear, going 5-2 to finish the year.Jackson is also set to interview for the Cincinnati Bengals head coaching job, in the wake of the Marvin Lewis firing. Based on his history with that team (he was re-hired by Lewis and the Bengals right after being let go by the Browns) you would have to think he’s a leading candidate for that job, which means he might never even make it to Minnesota to interview.
