Veteran contract extensions could be in order for the Minnesota Vikings after an offseason in which they spent heavily to revamp their lines, lost a Pro Bowl quarterback in free agency, and addressed needs in the draft, and Josh Metellus is due.
A sixth-round pick in the 2020 draft, Metellus has missed two games in his career, with zero in the last two seasons.
He has also started 27 games in that two-year window, including all 17 in 2023.
“Metellus is a perfect extension candidate. First, he is still young, having just turned 27 in January. Second, his contract is set to void after the 2025 season. Third, he is one of the cornerstone leaders in a Vikings locker room that will need consistent voices when (or if?) Harrison Smith retires. And fourth, Metellus wants to remain in Minnesota,” The Athletic’s Alec Lewis wrote on May 7.
“Metellus’ price might hover around $20 million over three years fully guaranteed, but the Vikings and Metellus’ agent, Rosenhaus, should have a positive enough relationship to consummate a new deal.”
