Breaking News: Former WWE wrestler Brock Lesnar signs with NFL team Submitted by Ben Johnson on Tuesday, July 27, 2004 at 2:34 PM EST
Brock Lesnar got some good news today, as he signed with the Minnesota Vikings. The former WWE wrestler will go from a multi-million dollar contract to just $230,000 per year. However, the Vikings had been Lesnar's "dream team" in terms of playing professional football, and he finally got his wish.
This news comes as somewhat of a surprise. The Vikings showed no interest in signing Lesnar after he tried out for the team and various sources were reporting that Lesnar's best hope for this season was to make a team's practice squad. Thus, making the main roster for the team he most wanted to play for is a huge accomplishment.
