Minnesota Vikings Strengthen Core: Wilson, DePaola Re-signed, Hockensons Contract Restructured

The Minnesota Vikings are bolstering their roster for the offseason, starting with the re-signing of linebacker Eric Wilson to a three-year deal worth $22.5 million, with $12.5 million fully guaranteed. Wilson, who started every game last season and recorded 115 tackles, is a testament to the teams commitment to rewarding proven performers.

The team also retained three-time Pro Bowl long snapper Andrew DePaola on a one-year contract fully guaranteed at $1.725 million, marking his twelfth season in the league and ensuring special teams reliability.

To create more cap space for future deals, the Vikings restructured tight end T.J. Hockensons contract, reducing his cap hit by $5 million in 2026. With key players secured and cap space freed up, the Vikings appear poised to make aggressive moves in the NFC North.
