Maybe Johnson's contract helped get things done?

Conversations also are underway on an extension for #Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. Minnesota is 34-17 since they took over in 2022 and the plan is to keep the braintrust together.

EAGAN, Minn. — The Vikings and Head Coach Kevin O’Connell have agreed to a multiyear contract extension, the team announced Tuesday.
"Kevin is exactly who we believed him to be when we named him as our head coach – an innovative play caller, an excellent communicator and a strong leader who motivates and connects with his players," Vikings Owner/President Mark Wilf said. "He has helped establish a culture that positions us for sustained success, and he will continue to set the standard we need as we pursue a championship for Vikings fans."
Vikings Owner/Chairman Zygi Wilf added the following:
"There is no question this team is on the right trajectory under Kevin's continued leadership. His authenticity, passion and positive energy, along with his impressive understanding of the game, has helped lead to the success we've experienced over the past three years and will be foundational blocks on which to build moving forward."
O'Connell said "it is an absolute honor to continue leading the Minnesota Vikings."
"Holding this prestigious position is something I never take for granted, and I want to express my sincere gratitude to the Wilf family for their unwavering belief in what we are building together. I also want to thank Leah and our incredible children; their love and support allow me to perform this job at a high level," O'Connell said. "And none of this would be possible without the dedication of our coaches, players and support staff. I can't wait to get back to work with all of them as we continue to build upon the high standard we've set and the positive environment we've created.
"To Vikings fans, you are the best in the NFL," O'Connell added. "There is no greater joy than leading our team in front of you each Sunday and experiencing the home-field advantage you create. I'm thrilled for the years ahead."

So much for the online sports fluffers talking all kinds of ridiculous shit about him being 'traded' or there's 'acrimony' because he hasn't signed an extension. It was always going to happen. My guess is $13.5. million per year. Maybe a touch more.

I dont think he signed for less than Johnson did, but we'll see soon enough.
Whats another million here or there anyways???
Wetlander was right, he and LaFluer were massively underpaid for where the mkt went for these HC's.

A little birdie told me it's 15 million per year.
