After watching some of the best players in free agency swap teams Monday, the Vikings will try to jump into the mix today when Fred Smoot, the best cornerback still available, visits Winter Park.
Smoot, who will turn 26 on April 17, has 16 interceptions in four seasons with the Washington Commanders, including three last season. He rejected a recent contract offer from the Commanders that includes a $10 million bonus.
The Vikings are an NFL-high $31 million under the cap and looking to add another top-level player to a secondary that includes cornerback Antoine Winfield, whom the Vikings grabbed in free agency last season for $34.8 million, including a $10.8 million roster bonus.
The Vikings also will entertain free-agent tight end Freddie Jones today. Jones, who caught 45 passes for 426 yards and two touchdowns for the Arizona Cardinals last season, visited Green Bay on Monday.
The Vikings also are trying to schedule a visit this week with free-agent tight end Itula Mili, who played for Seattle last season.
The Vikings also are still discussing a trade with Washington for receiver Rod Gardner.
