The Minnesota Vikings re-signed defensive tackle Tom Johnson on Wednesday.

The deal reportedly is for three years worth a total of $7 million, with $3 million guaranteed.

Johnson added 32 tackles, eight tackles for loss, 30 quarterback hurries and one forced fumble in 2014.

Johnson got his NFL start as a rookie free agent in 2006 and had playing stints in NFL Europa, the Arena League and the CFL. He eventually found a home in Minnesota after making his first NFL roster in 2011 with the New Orleans Saints.
