Former Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph said he was looking for more opportunities in the passing game, and that search led him to the New York Giants, where he agreed to a two-year deal on Thursday, according to his agency.
Rudolph, previously the Vikings' longest-tenured player before his release this month, can reportedly earn up to $16 million on his new deal in New York, where he joins Giants running back Saquon Barkley, quarterback Daniel Jones and tight end Evan Engram.
He'll look to turn around New York's fortunes after last year's 31st-ranked offense lost Barkley in the second game to a torn ACL and saw Jones, the young passer, struggle.
