The Minnesota Vikings signed 1the 0-year veteran on Monday, July 29, 2024, still seeking depth and experience for their secondary. McCain played his first six seasons for the Miami Dolphins , who drafted him in the fifth round in 2015 out of Memphis.
The 5-foot-9, 196-pound McCain primarily played cornerback in Miami. He began playing some safety under Flores. In 2021, the first of two seasons with the Washington Commanders, he made eight starts at each position that year while leading the team with four interceptions. McCain played last season for the New York Giants.
Flores said before the team’s first full-pads practice on Monday that McCain would play safety, but his system is built around versatility. The Vikings have much less depth at cornerback. Kicker John Parker Romo was waived by the Vikings to make room on the 90-man roster, effectively securing the job for rookie Will Reichard, their sixth-round draft pick from Alabama.
