Heading to Minnesota
The Vikings and Skule agreed to a contract Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Skule spent the last three years in Tampa Bay and made five starts in 2024. The 2019 sixth-round pick will look to compete for a starting spot on the Vikings' offensive line for the 2025 campaign, though he projects to serve in a depth role.

Back with Tampa Bay
The Buccaneers re-signed Skule on a one-year deal Friday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Skule is now in line to remain in Tampa Bay after spending the last two seasons with the Buccaneers. The 27-year-old offensive lineman has appeared in 49 games throughout his four-year career, starting in 12 of those outings. Skule hasn't started a game since coming to Tampa Bay in 2022, so he'll likely be competing for another depth role this offseason.
