Tryouts: This just passed along by Seifert. Outside Linebacker Brannon Carter from the University of Northern Iowa will be at Winter Park for this weekend’s rookie camp. Carter is among a group of players who will be in attendance on a tryout basis and have not been signed to contracts. Carter was the Defensive Player of the Year in the Gateway Conference (DI-AA) in 2007.

The Wisconsin-Whitewater student paper reports that linebacker AJ Raebel also will get a tryout this weekend. Raebel had 5.5 sacks and a team-leading 111 tackles for the NCAA Division III champs in 2007.

This report from a Nebraska television station says the Vikings also will bring in Tyler McNitt from the University of Nebraska. McNitt is projected to play tight end, H-back or fullback.
