The Facts:
The Vikings have completed a long-expected restructuring of Kleinsasser's contract, according to NFLPA documents. He took a $1 million reduction in his base salary for 2007, dropping from $2.9 million to $1.9 million. His salary in 2008 went from $2.9 million to $2.4 million. It was unknown Friday whether Kleinsasser would have the opportunity to earn back the money through expenses.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Vikings have signed free agent Visanthe Shiancoe to be their No. 1 tight end, and Kleinsasser agreed in principle earlier this month to adjust his contract and remain with the team. The Vikings filed the new contract this week. Entering his ninth season, Kleinsasser will battle Jeff Dugan, Richard Owens and others for the No. 2 job behind Shiancoe in training camp.
