Vikings Sign Former Packers Tight End Robert Tonyan

Tonyan joins Minnesota to bolster the tight end position as T.J. Hockenson recovers from knee surgery.

Tonyan previously played for the Packers and Bears, excelling in 2020 with 11 touchdowns.
He becomes the second former Packers player to join the Vikings this offseason, after Aaron Jones.
Tonyan's signing comes as T.J. Hockenson's return date remains uncertain due to an ACL and MCL injury.
Tonyan will compete with other tight ends like Josh Oliver and Johnny Mundt for a significant role.
The Vikings aim to improve their passing game and overall offensive depth with Tonyan's addition.
