Hunter Goodwin was released by the Vikings. He isn't much of a receiver, but he is a top-notch blocker. He probably could be had for short money, and he knows the division from his days with Miami.
From the sound of it, he got caught up in a numbers game in Minnesota, who has Kleinsasser for blocking, Wiggins as a receiver, and 2 youngsters they like at TE. Goodwin is getting a little older (he turns 32 this coming season), but he knows how to block.

Goodwin, 31, originally a fourth-round pick of the Vikings in 1996, caught four passes for 26 yards last season in the second year of his second stint with the team. He played with Miami from 1999 to 2001.
The Vikings released veteran tight end Hunter Goodwin. With the re-signing of Jim Kleinsasser and the addition of Jermaine Wiggins, the Vikings are intrigued by young tight ends such as Sean Berton and Steve Farmer.
