MINNEAPOLIS -- In past offseasons, the Minnesota Vikings have doled out contract extensions ahead of when a handful of players' current deals were set to expire. It's the way the franchise rewarded the likes of Eric Kendricks, Danielle Hunter and Stefon Diggs during the 2018 offseason.
Another Viking who could be in line for an extension this offseason is Adam Thielen. The wide receiver signed a four-year deal worth $19.246 million in 2017, which will earn him around $8 million next season.
