EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings have re-signed safety Theo Jackson to a three-year contract portending a larger role for next season. Jackson’s agency, Equity Sports, announced that the deal running through 2027 is worth $12.615 million, with the first two years fully guaranteed at signing. Jackson was eligible to become a restricted free agent next week. He developed into a special teams ace and trusted backup over the last three seasons behind starters Harrison Smith and Cam Bynum. Both of those spots are in flux. Smith at age 36 must decide if he will continue playing. Bynum will be a free agent.
Aaron Rodgers is a four-time NFL MVP, Super Bowl champion and future first-ballot Hall of Famer. He still may have to wait to until after the draft to find a new team for 2025. The New York Jets already have announced they’re releasing the 41-year-old quarterback after two disappointing seasons. Rodgers hasn’t said he definitely plans to keep playing, though he recently said he’d like to go to a team that wants him. Several teams still need a starter. Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Sam Darnold and Justin Fields will be the top free agents at the position. Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders are expected to be the top two quarterbacks selected in the draft.
