Special teams and locker room contract sounds like to me. it will be interesting to see his role on d this year.

Vikings rewarding one of the leaders of their defense, even if he isn't a starter. Heard Harrison Smith say that even he learns from Metellus. Sounds like he's going to see a lot of slot in big nickel this year.

Seems like a pricey reserve but there's been a lot of buzz around him this offseason, so I'll wait to see how much he's on the field before making any judgements. If he plays a ton this contract could wind up being a good one. Regardless, glad he's in the fold for another couple years if the staff likes him. Cap room is great but we need bodies too.

If I was the OP, I would have titled the thread:

** BREAKING!! **

And F'd with everyone...You missed your chance Sticky.

I heard the same,  I am excited to see what role he has in the new D.  This extension suggests that it might be more than simply a reserve role.

Another nice find for Spelly's second to last draft and after 3 years of play.  Getting 3 starters from a draft 3 years later is excellent.  Two is good to average and one sucks.  

2020 draft hit/possible hits still:

Justin Jefferson - best WR in football - big hit
Ezra Cleveland - round 2 - hit - decent starter
round 4 - DJ Wonnum - looks to be a good backup prospect to start maybe
round 4 - Troy Dye - see Wonnum
round 5 - KJ Osborne - expected to start and is that on depth chart - hit
round 6 - Blake Brandel - see Wonnum and Dye
round 6 - Mettelus - looks to be a starter in a Flores Defense

Bottom line - excellent 2020 draft by any measure!

He'll be starting next year with Bynum. Nice signing to get him extended
