The Minnesota Vikings and safety Madieu Williams have come to a contract agreement. The four-year veteran safety has agreed on parameters on a six-year contract with the Minnesota Vikings and is on a plane now headed to Minneapolis, agent Kenny Zuckerman said late this morning.
The contract with worth a total of $33 million.
The Vikings current defensive coordinator is Leslie Frazer. Frazer was the defensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals ... the team Williams has played for since his rookie season of 2004 ... in 2003-2004. Madieu respects Frazer as a coach and gave the team an advantage in signing him.
As for the Bengals, they kinda/sorta wanted Madieu back because of his experience. Cincy has their starting secondary in place (Marvin White, Chinedum Ndukwe), but both just completed their first NFL seasons. What could be interesting is what happens to veteran safety Dexter Jackson, who was though to become a salary cap casulty.
