Continuing to add at the position
UPDATE: The corresponding roster move for signing Moreau was waiving linebacker Abraham Beauplan. Original story below.
Another day, another addition to the cornerback room for the Minnesota Vikings.

Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network is reporting that the Vikings are signing cornerback Fabian Moreau. Moreau spent last season with the Denver Broncos, starting 11 games and appearing in 16 games overall.
Moreau was drafted in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins after a successful college career at UCLA. He spent four seasons with Washington, and has bounced around the league since then.
He played for the Atlanta Falcons in 2021 and then signed with the Houston Texans ahead of the 2022 season. The Texans made him one of their final cuts of training camp, and he wound up signing with the New York Giants instead. After that, as mentioned above, he signed with Denver and has now moved on to Minnesota.
For his career, the 6’, 200-pound Moreau has appeared in 106 games with 56 starts. He has seven career interceptions and 42 passes defended.
I don’t believe that the Vikings needed to make a corresponding roster move to make the Moreau signing official, but if they do we will make an update to this story.
Welcome to Minnesota, Fabian Moreau!
