Thomas was signed by the Vikings, the team announced on Friday.

Thomas spent last season with the Jets and Seahawks but appeared in just four games and recorded a total of two tackles. He did have a solid couple seasons in Carolina, but he has struggled to find work as of late. He now enters a Vikings secondary with Xavier Rhodes and Terence Newman likely starting at the cornerback positions, so it looks as if Thomas is going to serve another small role in Minnesota.

Thomas signed with the Jets on Monday, the New York Daily News reports.

Thomas' signing comes in wake of fellow cornerback Dee Milliner being ruled out for the season with a torn Achilles. After being cut by the Panthers following this year's preseason, Thomas played three games for the Seahawks before being released by them last week. Nonetheless, Thomas will add depth to a Jets' secondary in need of help.

A fifth-round pick, the Dallas-native Thomas is likely ticketed for the practice squad.

Thomas is a Dallas native that started 22 of his final 24 college games at corner. He'll focus on trying to make the team as a nickel corner that can also help at safety in a pinch.
