Vikings tender fullback Naufahu Tahi

The Vikings have given the right-of-first-refusal tender to restricted free-agent fullback Naufahu Tahi on Wednesday. The tender offer means the Vikings can keep Tahi by matching any offer he receives from other teams in free agency. The signing period for free agents begings=at 11 p.m. Thursday. Should the Vikings not match the offer made by another team, they would not receive any draft-choice compensation because Tahi was as an undrafted player. Tahi received the lowest possible tenderthe Vikings could make which was $1.01 million for restricted free agents. Tahi played in all 17 games in 2008, including the playoffs.
