Linval Joseph happy to have Shamar Stephen back with the Vikings

When the Minnesota Vikings let defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson walk in free agency this offseason, the question of who would fill the massive gap at defensive tackle was one the team needed to address.

Thankfully, the franchise was able to bring back a former starter who had some success with both the Vikings and the Seattle Seahawks when they brought back Shamar Stephen, who wore purple and gold for four seasons.

While he may not have the same kind of name recognition as Sheldon Richardson, Stephen brings a lot to the table for Minnesota.
