Vikings hit a homerun with Za’Darius Smith signing

When the Minnesota Vikings fired Rick Spielman and brought in Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, there were questions about how the Vikings would attack the upcoming season. Rebuild and prepare for the future, or double down and commit to winning now? Those questions were quickly answered back in March when the Vikings went out and signed ex-Packer Za’Darius Smith. It was time to win now.

Za’Darius Smith agreed to terms with the Minnesota Vikings, per source.

There was some skepticism, though, with this signing, and rightfully so.
