The Minnesota Vikings have become a self-perpetuating joke.
They signed former Green Bay Packers running back DuJuan Harris to a one-year contract on Thursday because OF COURSE THEY DID!
Congrats to client RB DuJuan Harris for signing a 1 year deal with the @Vikings today. @DIAMONDdavelee #PlayersRep

The Minnesota Vikings are the goddam raccoon that digs through the Green Bay Packers’ trash cans.
“We’ll find something good in here somewhere!”
We’re not even going to start going through the list of former Packers signed by the Vikings, but Harris is the second in a month. He joins another guy the Packers released — tight end Brandon Bostick.
The only difference between how Bostick and Harris found their way to the Vikings is how the Packers dispatched them. Bostick was flat-out released. Harris was an exclusive rights free agent and the Packers chose not to tender him a contract, thus making him an unrestricted free agent.
It’s all semantics though.
The bottom line is this.
Neither of these guys is good enough to be on the Green Bay Packers, but they’re good enough to be on the Minnesota Vikings.
