The Minnesota Vikings signed 10-year veteran defensive back Bobby McCain on Monday, still seeking depth and experience for their secondary, The Associated Press reports.

McCain played his first six seasons for the Miami Dolphins, who drafted him in the fifth round in 2015 out of Memphis. The last two of those years with the Dolphins were under coach Brian Flores, who is now Minnesota’s defensive coordinator.

The 5-foot-9, 196-pound McCain primarily played cornerback in Miami. He began playing some safety under Flores. In 2021, the first of two seasons with the Washington Commanders, he made eight starts at each position that year while leading the team with four interceptions. McCain played last season for the New York Giants.

Flores said before the team’s first full-pads practice on Monday that McCain would play safety, but his system is built around versatility. The Vikings have much less depth at cornerback.
