Asher Allen signs

by Manimal on Jul 23, 2009 11:06 AM CDT

According to Access Vikings, via the team's official website, Asher Allen has signed a contract with the Vikings.

Vikings rookie cornerback Asher Allen has agreed to a contract, according to the team’s website.

Allen, a third-round pick out of Georgia, is expected to compete for the nickel back job and on special teams. Allen suffered a knee injury in offseason workouts but is expected to be ready for training camp. Terms of his deal were not immediately known.

That's good news. Next will be Loadholt, most likely. Then Harvin. I hope they get these done soon. That's one thing I envy the Bears about; they sign their picks FAST.

we are notorious

for waiting until the last minute to sign our picks. doesn’t matter who’s in charge, we always seem to sign our picks in the week before camp opens.

when the picks start signing is when i start ramping up for the season. vikings will be on the field soon!

The only thing I envy the bears on is...

how nicely they let Adrian Peterson pass through their defense on the way to the endzone! How Kind.

...add #4 to the mix and see what you get... Championship.

Judd Zulgad has an interesting take

on the Winfield extension and the Allen signing. I think it would be kinda cool to see Winfield at the safety position.

Now you know how Farva feels :)

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!
SKOL!
