Free-agent news

The Vikings came to terms with the first of their six unrestricted free agents Tuesday, as safety Tank Williams agreed to a one-year contract.

Williams missed all last season after fracturing his left knee early in training camp. Linebacker Napoleon Harris, wide receiver Travis Taylor, wide receiver Bethel Johnson, guard Jason Whittle and defensive tackle Ross Kolodziej are scheduled to become unrestricted free agents March 2.

Kolodziej’s agent, Chris Murray, said today that the Vikings have told him they will allow the five-year veteran to hit the market.
