The Minnesota Vikings gave Kirk Cousins a fully guaranteed contract on Thursday and have now followed by signing former Pro Bowl defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson. 

Richardson, still just 27 years old, agreed to sign with the Vikings on a one-year deal, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. 

Richardson played for the Seahawks last season after spending the first four years of his career with the Jets.
