Show the hover layer initially. The Minnesota Vikings announced that free-agent defensive linemen Lance Johnstone and Fernando Smith have agreed to terms with the club. Terms of the deals were not disclosed. He was signed to the Vikings 2000 roster prior to the final regular season game against Indianapolis and started in both the Vikings' playoff games.
Lance is a tremendous, explosive football player.
I think he has the ability to turn the corner, is great using his hands and brings a lot of speed to our defensive perimeter game. Fernando, after we signed him last year, did a very good job for us and performed in a real solid fashion. We think with full mini camps and training camp that Fernando is going to have an outstanding season. NFC unrestricted free agents 2001, NFL Enterprises, L.P.
