Rudolph's contract a shrewd show of faith

MANKATO, Minn. -- After the Minnesota Vikings named Norv Turner their offensive coordinator in January, it quickly became apparent that tight end Kyle Rudolph stood to become one of the biggest beneficiaries of the move. Rudolph had put together a solid start to his career in Minnesota, winning Pro Bowl MVP honors after his second season and catching 30 passes before breaking his foot in the Vikings' eighth game of last year, but Turner's offense -- and his history of featuring tight ends in it -- stood to take Rudolph to a new level.
