Vikings sign DE Jonathan Bullard, waive DE Kenny Willekes

With OTAs starting to wrap up before mandatory mini-camp gets underway, the Minnesota Vikings have made some personnel changes along the defensive line.

The team has announced that they have signed veteran defensive end Jonathan Bullard to a one-year contract. In order to make room for him on the roster, the team waived defensive end Kenny Willekes with an injury designation.

Bullard was a third-round pick of the Chicago Bears in the 2016 NFL Draft, and has appeared in 70 career NFL games with 16 starts. He spent his first three NFL seasons with Chicago and followed that up with stints with the Arizona Cardinals, the Seattle Seahawks, and the Atlanta Falcons.
