It was announced yesterday that the Minnesota Vikings have signed nine players to Reserve/Future contracts.

Basically, this is a way for Minnesota to hold over players that are not currently under contracts that would otherwise not be part of the team.  For example, many players on practice squads in the NFL are not under long term deals in the NFL, so a Reserve/Future contract allows them to keep those players into the next offseason and bring them into training camp.

Here are the 9 players that the Vikings have signed to the Reserve/Future contracts:

Kain Colter, wide receiver

Pat Devlin, quarterback

Isame Faciane, defensive tackle

Donte Foster, wide receiver

Zac Kerin, center

Jordan McCray, guard

Ryan Otten, tight end

Dominique Williams, running back

Many of these players were already a part of the Vikings practice squad.  Signing them to these deals allow them to stay with the team on low cost/low risk contracts and bring them into the next season with the team.  While many of these players aren’t likely to make the Vikings 53 man roster, there are often surprises that happen where players emerge from obscurity, so it always helps to bring in as many competitive players as possible.  These players will have another chance to impress the coaching staff next year.
