Minnesota Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah made his first move on Wednesday in signing defensive tackle T.Y. McGill. It’s the calm before the storm of free agency descends upon Eagan next week.
After spending eight weeks on the Vikings practice squad, McGill got a bump to the active roster for the last two games of the 2021 regular season against the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears. He made enough of an impression for Adofo-Mensah to bring him back in to compete for a spot on the 2022 roster.
Before coming to Minnesota, he spent time on the Washington Commanders practice squad and was ultimately released from the team last November.
