Super Bowl-winning free agent OLB Kyle Van Noy is signing with the Minnesota Vikings.
The news was reported Wednesday evening by NFL insider Tom Pelissero, coming hours after it was confirmed that Van Noy was visiting with the Vikings.
He will be reunited with Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores, for whom he played in both New England and Miami, winning two Super Bowls with the Patriots.
Bring Me The Sports' Vikings reporter Will Ragatz says Van Noy's experience, versatility, and pass rush abilities would all provide a big boost to a Vikings defense that is lacking in proven edge defenders outside of starters Andrew Van Ginkel and Dallas Turner.
A second-round pick by the Lions in the 2014 NFL Draft, the BYU grad really came to the fore after he was traded to New England midway through his third year in the NFL, joining Bill Belichick's defense at the time Flores was the linebackers coach.
