The New York Jets traded MLB Sam Cowart to the Minnesota Vikings where he will reunite with his former coach Ted Cottrell. The Jets will receive a 7th round pick in this year's draft.
Cowart, entering his eighth season in the NFL, was a second-round pick of Buffalo in 1998 and emerged as a star, notching over 100 tackles in five of his first seven NFL seasons. But he hasn't been the same since an Achilles' tendon injury in 2001.
