The future of the Veteran Combine, which had its first run last month, could largely depend on the amount of talent teams end up scooping from the pool.
The Arizona Cardinals were the first to get on the board by inkingIfeanyi Momah and Nathan Slaughter to deals. The Colts picked up Deveron Carr.
According to the Baltimore Sun, wide receiver Thomas Mayo is working out for the Dolphins on Thursday.
Now, the Minnesota Vikings have signed Mike Kafka and defensive end Caesar Rayford this week.
