Source: Vikings agree to terms with defensive tackle Jerry Tillery
The infusion of talent on defense continues for the Vikings.
After signing a handful of players early in free agency, the Vikings have added defensive tackle Jerry Tillery. A source confirmed the deal to the Pioneer Press. According to NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero, it will be a 1-year deal for Tillery that could be worth as much as $3.75 million.
No doubt the Vikings are hoping defensive coordinator Brian Flores can help Tillery take his game to the next level. After being selected by the Los Angeles Chargers the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft Tillery hasn’t yet lived up to his potential. He’s also played for the Las Vegas Raiders.
It’s likely that Tillery will play in a situational role for the Vikings next season. He joins a position group that is led by defensive tackle Harrison Phillips and defensive tackle Jonathan Bullard.
