MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Running back Jerick McKinnon is reportedly leaving the Minnesota Vikings for a big payday in the Bay Area.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapaport reported Wednesday running back Jerick McKinnon will sign a four-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers worth $30 million.
McKinnon never established himself as a starter with the Vikings, but when Dalvin Cook tore his ACL last year, he performed well as part of a two-headed attack with Latavius Murray.
The 25-year-old had 570 rushing yards and three touchdowns in 2017 – both career highs. He also caught 51 passes for 421 yards and two touchdowns.
