RS: Recent contract extensions triggered by 'significant' decisions ahead at QB
#1
The Minnesota Vikings have one of the more interesting salary-cap situations in the NFL, in that they have their two biggest-name quarterbacks — for now, anyway — set to become free agents after this season.
That’s why general manager Rick Spielman felt the need to be so aggressive in terms of re-signing other key pieces of the team before it could deal with the looming question of who its quarterback will be after this season. Following a busy offseason signing outside free agents, the Vikings turned inward and locked up DE Everson Griffen, CB Xavier Rhodes and DT Linval Joseph to extensions over a two-week period.
Spielman spoke with PFW on Monday and said the team felt its unique situation forced the team to look ahead — even more so than normal and even going against its past practices — when it came to future salary-cap planning.
