(Undated) -- The Vikings addressed a concern at cornerback by signing Benny
Sapp to a contract extension. Sapp became a restricted free agent last week
and talked with several teams before deciding to stay with the Vikings. Last
season, Sapp put in plenty of playing time when All-Pro cornerback Antoine
Winfield went down with a foot injury. He finished with seven pass breakups
and two forced fumbles as well as a career-high 55 tackles. The Vikings need
stability in the defensive backfield after Cedric Griffin had surgery to
repair a torn A-C-L, an injury that happened in the N-F-C championship game
loss at New Orleans. There are reports that free agent running back
Ladainian Tomlinson is ready to visit Vikings team officials tomorrow at
Winter Park in Eden Prairie. The Vikings need depth at running back after
Chester Taylor signed a free-agent contract with the Chicago Bears.
