Vikings sign Smoot to six-year contract

Postby webfoot » Tue Mar 08, 2005 11:44 pm

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Fred Smoot agreed to terms on a six-year contract Tuesday with the Minnesota Vikings, sending the top cornerback left on the free agent market to a team that has had persistent defensive problems in recent seasons.

Smoot had 16 interceptions over four years with the Washington Redskins and was selected as an alternate to the Pro Bowl last season. His deal is worth $34 million, including a $10.8 million signing bonus, according to ESPN.com and FOXSports.com.
