Van Ginkel is a pretty solid performer - The Vikes are smart to pay him.
And their quarterback is on a rookie contract, so now is the time to pay the veterans.

At 29 yrs old (30 in July) I'm surprised he didn't go for a 3 yr deal & "settled" for a 1 yr deal?

I guess he's "betting on himself" as they like to say, but yes, at 30 that's a fairly big risk to take.

Looking at OTC his previous contract pushed $8.5mil out to 2027. This extension must push out even more into the future. The Vikes are already NEGATIVE $18mil on the cap for '26 & this extension should make it even worse. Cap hell awaits Minny, & they still have a rookie deal QB, so they're in a bind for a few years.

I'm glad to hear it. It makes their window smaller and smaller.

With the contracts they're been signing the last year or two, and the reckless draft strategies, I think they're going all in for what they see as a narrow window. They've got a lot riding on McCarthy, and need to hope he's a real fast learner.
