Veteran corner to sign one-year deal

Former Baltimore Ravens cornerback Frank Walker is taking a physical today with the Minnesota Vikings and is expected to sign a one-year contract, according to a league source with knowledge of the situation.

The Vikings have had injury issues at cornerback with rookie Chris Cook suffering a knee injury recently.

Walker tried out for the New Orleans Saints Tuesday, but wasn't signed to a contract.

The Tennessee Titans tried out Walker earlier this season.

Walker was with the Ravens for the past couple seasons, but wasn't retained as a free agent this offseason.

Walker, who has had previous stints with the Green Bay Packers and the New York Giants, tried out for the Miami Dolphins during the preseason and the Houston Texans this spring.

Yes Alan, they are. The Vikes only have 3 healthy CBs. THREE! I don't recall anything about this guy, so it's REALLY obvious that the Vikes are hurting.

Here's to hoping that rookie Cook can get back and stay healthy..

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

The only reason this signing is notable at all is that Frank Walker represents yet another Packers retread. The Vikings love them some Packers.

Rourke, meh. He's also a Ravens and Giants rethread. He's played more in Baltimore and NY than he had in GB. I think he had 3 years in NY and 2 in Baltimore. Only one year in GB. Can't really call him a Packers retread. 🙂

Don't you know? Frank Walker was the reason we went 14-4 in 2007. He was the big FA pickup in '07.

Now I hear you got Mike Montgomery too. Dude.

Rourke: I don't know your roster off the top of my head, and I'm too lazy to look it up. Maybe later.

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : @AaronNagler · 2m Both Jordan Love and Malik Willis were Limited participants at Packers practice today.

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Johnson didn't make it until 2020. Ring 2023. 🤷 Personally, he should have been in years prior to Hall.

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : HUMP DAY

beast (8-Jan) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (8-Jan) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Jones took his sweet ole time!

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (8-Jan) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (8-Jan) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (8-Jan) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats porky on winning 2023 pick'em! (oops sorry)

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : Packers have $60M+ of 2025 cap space on paper TODAY.

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman
