You would certainly hope the front office would know about this long before they signed him. If he doesnt play, or doesnt play well, it a big problems for the Vikes

I don't think they are expecting him to play this season.

So much for Scott Crichton, waived by the #Vikings last week, and the Bills, who claimed him. Failed physical. profootballtalk.nbcsports.com

Brian Robison instagram video message

brianrobison96There is not another place I'd rather be than with the @vikings . To the organization thank you so much for the opportunities you have given myself and my family. We have met so many great people and made lasting relationships in the state of #minnesota . This is a team and organization that I truly believe in and whole heartedly wanted to be with. This was a deal that was a win win for both parties. I now have the opportunity to be a #Viking for life and retire in Purple. Thank you to the #fans for your support because without y'all none of this is possible. #skol #nfl #reeleminfoundation

Interesting comments from Zimmer:

http://www.twincities.com/2017/03/29/vi ... terson-go/
“Adrian and I have a really good relationship, and I think he’s a great player,” Zimmer said. “Hopefully, he goes in the hall of fame as a Viking. But (letting Peterson go) was part of the deal in getting younger as well.”

Zimmer said he hasn’t spoken to Peterson since shortly after the end of the 2016 season in January.
Zimmer likes Murray’s versatility, saying he can “help in the run, in the pass game and in protection.” He stressed, though, that Jerick McKinnon “will still get a lot of carries,” and the Vikings are expected to select a running back in the April 27-29 draft.

Zimmer said the Vikings were “almost 100 percent one-dimensional” in 2016 when they were last in the NFL in rushing, averaging 75.3 yards per game. He said, though, that recently signed tackles Riley Reiff and Mike Remmers are better at run blocking than pass blocking, though they are “adequate” in the latter.
Zimmer said he still hasn’t determined who will play at right guard. He said one option is Jeremiah Sirles. He seemingly wants to keep Joe Berger at center, but there still could be a possibility of putting Berger at right guard with Nick Easton at center.

Did he sign for 1 year? Sounds like a last hurrah to me.

He wasn't a free agent. I have to believe it is for more than one year.

He accepted a pay cut and signed an extension through 2018.

Actually, his dad was a regular contributor in the scout.com forum a while back. He was real down to earth and answered questions as best he could. Never got into arguments and just let people voice their opinions of his son good or bad. Seemed like a real cool guy.
