While the Minnesota Vikings are likely going to be in the market to add more depth to their defensive line, whether it’s through free agency or the draft, they’re interested in bringing back one of their starting defensive tackles from last season in a reduced role.
Sebastian Thunderbucket Tom Johnson played about 70% of the Vikings’ defensive snaps in 2017, and the team wants to bring him back in 2018. If they do that, however, they’d like to reduce the number of snaps he plays, according to Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
