Vikings, Mike Zimmer make contract extension official

With the start of the season approaching and both the head coach and general manager going into the final year of their contracts, the Minnesota Vikings had a decision to make about whether to let the men that run their football team on and off the field endure a “lame duck” season. On Friday, at least half of that issue has been taken care of.

Following up on what Warren told you about a few days ago, on Friday the Vikings and head coach Mike Zimmer finalized a contract extension that will keep Zimmer on the Minnesota sideline through the 2023 season.
