Minnesota Vikings fourth-round draft choice DE James Lynch signed a four-year contract with the Vikings Wednesday, July 22. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Footballguys View: Lynch has violent striking hands, plays with power and does a good job of chasing quarterbacks down. He set sack records in college at Baylor playing from the outside, but in the pros he should line up as a three tech. Lynch should get on the field as a rookie as a part-time pass-rusher.
