Brett Favre is on his way to Minnesota to meet with the Vikings. Coach Brad Childress confirmed in an e-mail to The Associated Press Tuesday morning that the veteran quarterback was traveling from Mississippi to meet with the team.

The Minnesota Vikings have signed fifth-round draft pick Jasper Brinkley. Brinkley is a linebacker from South Carolina. He received second-team All-SEC honors last year after recording 65 tackles with the Gamecocks. Terms of the deal were not disclosed on Tuesday.

Former Laney star Corvey Irvin, former Thomson star Jasper Brinkley and former Lincoln Co. star Jarius Wynn were selected Sunday on the second day of the 2009 NFL Draft.
