MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings have kept four more of their own free agents,NFL Jerseys China Cheap, retaining tight end Rhett Ellison, cornerback Terence Newman, defensive end Justin Trattou and cornerback Marcus Sherels on Tuesday.
Trattou also agreed to a one-year contract, according to another person with direct knowledge of his deal who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the team had not yet announced it. Trattou has been a backup since first signing with the Vikings in 2013.

Sherels, who has largely been a backup cornerback, also plays on the special teams coverage units. He signed a two-year deal worth as much as $4 million, including $1.5 million guaranteed.
The Vikings have brought back 10 of their own players who were eligible to become free agents, with remaining interest in retaining linebacker Chad Greenway and running back Matt Asiata.

The Rochester native made the Vikings' practice squad in 2010 and was elevated to the active roster for the final game of his rookie year. Since then, he has played in all 81 games and compiled a franchise-record three punt returns for touchdowns. He's third in Vikings history with an average of 10.2 yards per punt return.
Ellison, who also lines up as a fullback at times, has 458 yards and three touchdowns receiving over four years. He signed a one-year contract with a maximum value of $2.25 million.
Newman provided the Vikings some valuable production,Wholesale Cheap Jerseys, experience and leadership in his first season with the team, snagging three of his 40 career interceptions and starting all 17 games,Cheap Football Jerseys, including the playoffs.
