"Minnesota Vikings Bolster Defense with Jihad Ward and Kamu Grugier-Hill Signings"

Jihad Ward, a former New York Giants player, has signed with the Minnesota Vikings after two productive seasons with the Giants. The 30-year-old veteran edge defender had a strong presence in the Giants' locker room and played over 1,300 defensive snaps during his time with the team. His departure from the Giants was influenced by the exit of former defensive coordinator Wink Martindale and the acquisition of Brian Burns from the Carolina Panthers. The Giants are now looking to fill the void left by Ward's departure, potentially through the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft.
