Last week, the Minnesota Vikings bringing back defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson was a pretty significant story, coming on the heels of the team agreeing to a new deal with defensive end Danielle Hunter. Now, word is coming out that the Vikings getting Richardson might be even more of a bargain than originally thought.
According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com (via Pro Football Talk), Richardson decided to sign with Minnesota despite having a larger offer on the table from the Cleveland Browns, where he had spent the last two seasons.
After his year with the Vikings, Richardson signed a three-year, $37 million contract with Cleveland.
