After finalizing a lucrative extension with Justin Jefferson, the Vikings are now focusing on securing a second contract for left tackle Christian Darrisaw.

Having established himself as Minnesota’s primary blindside blocker with impressive performances, Darrisaw’s fifth-year option has been exercised, setting him up to earn $16.04MM in 2025.
While negotiations for a multi-year extension are ongoing, Darrisaw remains a key figure in the Vikings’ offensive lineup alongside Jefferson and tight end T.J. Hockenson. Talks are progressing steadily, and with a deliberate approach from general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, a significant extension could be on the horizon for Darrisaw.
The recent change in Darrisaw’s representation to Drew Rosenhaus may impact the negotiations positively, potentially leading to a deal that reflects his value as an essential member of the team’s core.
With ample cap space in 2025, the Vikings have the flexibility to structure a substantial long-term investment for Darrisaw. If both parties are eager to reach an agreement, a lucrative extension could be finalized well before his rookie deal expires.
