Vikings Lock in Linebacker Wilson with $22.5M Deal

0:00Welcome to NFL News Today. Two minutes of updates that matter to NFL fans, hit subscribe and stay connected. Linebacker Eric Wilson is staying put with the Minnesota Vikings. The team agreed to a three-year deal, worth $22.5 million, with 12.5 million fully guaranteed. This came together just hours before free agency opened. Wilson had a strong season last year, playing in all 17 regular season games and starting 16 of them. At 31 years old, he proved reliable on defense after signing a one-year pact to return to Minnesota. His NFL journey started as an undrafted free agent with the Vikings back in 2017. He spent four seasons there before short stents with the Eagles and Texans, then three years with the Packers where he ramped up his play. Fans and analysts see this as a smart move for the Vikings, locking in a veteran who knows the system. They boost their linebacker depth heading into the op season. Not many players land their biggest contract, past 30, but Wilson did.
