The Minnesota Vikings have agreed to terms on a deal with veteran offensive tackle Justin Skule, according to Alec Lewis of The Athletic.
Skule, a sixth-round pick of the San Francisco 49ers in the 2019 draft, started five games for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season and has 66 career appearances (17 starts) over a five-year NFL career.
Skule played snaps at both left tackle and right tackle last season. Per Pro Football Focus, Skule has played 833 career snaps at left tackle and 234 at right tackle, and he also has experience at right guard.
In 2024, Skule allowed 12 pressures and four sacks across 213 pass-blocking snaps with the Bucs.
Skule will give the Vikings a quality and experienced backup tackle behind starters Christian Darrisaw, who is coming back from a significant knee injury, and Brian O'Neil.
Minnesota has completely revamped its offensive line during free agency. Skule joins center Ryan Kelly and guard Will Fries as new arrivals for the Vikings up front on offense.
