Minnesota Vikings

Eric Johnson II

DT

The details of the contract are unknown at this point, but Johnson will be linking up with his third team in as many years. He played a depth role on the interior of Indianapolis' defensive line in 2025, logging 131 defensive snaps over 12 games. He joins rookie first-rounder Caleb Banks (foot) and rookie third-rounder Domonique Orange as recent acquisitions meant to beef up Minnesota's defensive front.

Jordan Addison

WR

Vikings EVP of football operations Rob Brzezinski said last month that the team would be making this move, and it's now official. Addison will earn $18 million in 2027 as a result. The 23rd overall pick in the 2023 Draft, Addison has shown flashes of big-time playmaking ability during his first three seasons, but he also was a victim of extremely poor quarterback play during the 2025 campaign. With Kyler Murray now in town to compete with J.J. McCarthy (hand), the Vikings are banking on more competency under center, which should obviously help Justin Jefferson and Addison produce better numbers in the box score.

Marcus Sanders Jr.

WR

Sanders played four seasons with Georgia Southern and had his best campaign last year, when he produced 797 receiving yards and five touchdowns on 50 catches. He was one of four wideouts signed as UDFAs by the Vikings on Saturday along with Dillon Bell, Luke Wysong and Shaleak Knotts.

Shaleak Knotts

WR

Knotts played his four collegiate seasons with Maryland and got his first big opportunity last year, when he tallied 717 receiving yards and six touchdowns on 44 catches. Minnesota has a WR corps led by Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, and Knotts may be destined for a spot on the practice squad unless he makes a big impression during training camp.

Jauan Jennings

WR

Jennings will head to Minnesota after spending the first six years of his NFL career with the 49ers, five of which were as a member of the team's active roster. The wide receiver most recently caught 55 of 90 targets for 643 yards and a career-high nine touchdowns over 15 regular-season games in 2025. He now will join a Vikings roster that has a pair of former first-round picks in Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison as anchors in the WR room, but Jennings will provide the team with a formidable trio at the position.
