The Minnesota Vikings have reached a deal with free agent linebacker Jordan Hicks, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Tuesday.
The Arizona Cardinals released Hicks last week in a move that saved the team $6.5 million on their salary cap.
Hicks, who turns 30 in July, played at a high level last season, registering 116 tackles and four sacks, but the Cardinals made the move to give fellow inside linebacker Zaven Collins, drafted in the first round last year, more playing time.
The Vikings already have veteran middle linebacker Eric Kendricks on their roster, but new defensive coordinator Ed Donatell has said he plans to use both the 3-4 and 4-3 schemes.
