Forget Lloyd

For those who thought the Giants might be getting a kickoff specialist in the person of former Panther Rhys Lloyd, write him off.

Lloyd announced on his Twitter account about a half-hour ago that he has signed a contract with the Vikings, with whom he visited today. Seems like Minnesota was eager for someone to put the ball in the end zone. Besides, no tricky winds in the dome.

The Vikings were a Final Eight team, of course. But because Lloyd was a restricted player who did not receive a tender, he became fair game for any team at any time. Thus, the Vikings.
