Vikings Interested In CB Buchanon?

Mike Florio (Pro Football Talk) reports the Minnesota Vikings and Cincinnati Bengals are interested in free-agent cornerback Phillip Buchanon, who was cut by the Detroit Lions on Friday.

Minnesota Sports Zone’s Take:

Buchanon, 29, has had an up-and-down career.  He never lived up to expectations for the Oakland Raiders and Houston Texans, but had a successful stint with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before joining the Detroit Lions in 2009.

The Vikings may be particularly interested because he was successful in the Buccaneers’ defense, similar to the defense the Vikings play (Tampa-2 style).
