Another new deal: Vikings have signed OT Brian O'Neill to a contract extension. https://t.co/WD7Di2m4Io Via @AdamSchefter on X

What happened: The move keeps O'Neill in Minnesota beyond the final season of the five-year, $92.5 million pact he signed in 2021. That contract carried an $18.5 million annual average.

Why it matters: Minnesota secures continuity at right tackle before the upcoming season. The new structure could reshape when O'Neill's cap charges hit the roster.

By the numbers: Previous extension: five years, $92.5 million, with an $18.5 million average annual value.

What to watch: The length, guarantees and cap structure will determine the extension's long-term roster impact.
