Vikings signed seventh-round pick Sanford

New player came to the Minnesota Vikings. He was Jamarca Sanford, picked by the team in seventh-round draft.

Sanford is a safety who started all 44 games he played at Mississippi and was a team captain during his senior year. Sanford earned SEC Defensive Player of the Week honors after he had 11 tackles in the Rebels' upset of eventual national champion Florida.

As the first of five Viking draft picks from 2009, Sanford needs to compete for a role on special teams after being signed. He also has the chance to become a backup to starting safeties Tyrell Johnson and Madieu Williams.

Vikings are waiting for Favre to make his decision

News about the Vikings and Brett Favre have been all around us for a few weeks. Recent news said that the Vikings will not set deadline for Favre to decide whether getting out of retirement or not.

Coach Brad Childress answered cleverly all the 24 questions asked by reporters Thursday, and 23 questions are about Favre. He hoped that he will see the 39-year-old throw before the Vikings give him a contract. But he also said that the Vikings will not urge Favre to make up his mind soon. He admitted that he had a conversation with Favre on phone, but refused to release more details.

So about Favre and the Vikings, we can still just wait for a certain outcome while speculating.
