EAGAN, Minn. - If the Minnesota Vikings end up looking to the free-agent guard market for help with their injured offensive line, there's a good chance Richie Incognito won't be getting a call.
On Tuesday, Vikings coach Mike Zimmer denied a claim from the former Buffalo Bills offensive lineman that Minnesota had reached out to him this offseason in hopes of potentially signing him.
"No interest and totally false," Zimmer said. "Tweet that."
The four-time Pro Bowl guard abruptly announced his retirement in April after 12 seasons in the NFL. Six weeks later, Buffalo released Incognito from its reserved/retired list, making him free to resume his playing career.
