Eden Prairie, MN (Betting Express) - The Minnesota Vikings have agreed to terms with fullback Thomas Tapeh, who spent the first four years of his NFL career with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Tapeh appeared in all 32 games, starting 16, over the past two seasons. He helped Brian Westbrook reach 1,000 yards on the ground each of the past two years.

Last season, Tapeh caught eight passes for 50 yards and rushed five times for 18 yards. He missed the entire 2005 season because of a hip injury and has 26 catches in his career.

The University of Minnesota alum played for current Vikings head coach Brad Childress when he was the offensive coordinator for Philadelphia in 2004 and '05.
