Vikings, CB Benny Sapp agree to contract
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings and cornerback Benny Sapp have agreed to terms on a new contract.
The deal to bring back Sapp was announced Tuesday.
Sapp started a total of seven games last season while filling in for injured starter Antoine Winfield, totaling 25 tackles, two passes defensed and two forced fumbles during a particularly strong six-game stretch. He finished the regular season with 55 tackles, the most in his NFL seasons.
Sapp served the rest of the season as the nickel back, and his presence this year will be important since Winfield and fellow starter Cedric Griffin are coming off injuries.
Sapp first signed with the Vikings in 2008 as an unrestricted free agen.
