Minnesota Vikings re-sign Kenrick Ellis

The Minnesota Vikings have agreed to a one-year deal with defensive tackle Kenrick Ellis, according to multiple reports. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Ellis was a third-round pick by the New York Jets in 2011 and played in 47 games for the franchise. He signed with the New York Giants last offseason but did not appear in any games and hooked on with the Vikings in October, going on to playing nine games as a reserve.

The Vikings were scheduled to have 14 free agents when the new league year begins Wednesday, but have reduced that number to 12 with the re-signing of Ellis and safety Andrew Sendejo.
