Vikings Announces Major Contract Extension as Sam Darnold in Talks to Join Rival $6.7B Franchise

The Minnesota Vikings are making moves this NFL offseason. But they’re yet to offer a contract extension to their quarterback, Sam Darnold. At this point, it’s more likely that the Vikings will have a new starting QB in the 2025 season than Netflix canceling a fan-favorite show right when it gets good. However, the Minnesota team definitely has some plans for their D-line for their next campaign.

On Thursday, the Vikings signed the 26-year-old Safety, Theo Jackson, on a contract extension worth $12.615 million for a couple of years. The NFL sports writer and reporter, Adam Schefter, broke the news on his official Instagram handle. “Vikings reached agreement with safety Theo Jackson on a two-year, $12.615 million extension through 2027, including the first two years fully guaranteed at signing,” he captioned.
