What happened: The comments came one day after Minnesota completed a four-year deal with the veteran right tackle. The agreement keeps him under contract as the club prepares for the 2026 season.

Why it matters: Keeping Brian O'Neill provides continuity at a key protection spot. He has remained a central piece through multiple coaching, scheme and quarterback changes.

By the numbers: O'Neill's extension is worth $96 million over four years. He has earned two Pro Bowl selections and turns 31 in September.

What to watch: Training camp will show how the offensive line settles around O'Neill before the 2026 season.
