Though the Vikings swung and missed on the guy who would have been their quarterback for the 2009 season, they’ve lassoed a large man who might finally fill the void at right tackle created eight years ago by the passing of Korey Stringer.
The team has announced that right tackle Phil Loadholt has agreed to a rookie deal.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
But we assume he’s making enough money to finally afford a house with a big enough toilet for his 343-pound frame.
UPDATE: PFT’s Aaron Wilson reports that the four-year deal includes $1.675 million in total guaranteed money. It has a maximum total value of $3.44 million, including a $1.2 million signing bonus, according to a league source.
