The “legal tampering” period for the Vikings and the rest of the NFL begins on Monday at noon EST.
The Vikings have already made one major decision on their own roster. Last night, they decided to re-up on LB Eric Wilson’s contract.
Wilson’s new deal is worth up to $22.5 million over 3 years. He will receive a guarantee of $12.5 million. Minnesota has also decided to release Jonathan Hargrave, Aaron Jones and Jonathan Allen. T.J. Hockenson was restructured.
Now ahead of the opening of the free agency flood gates, a decision on LB Ivan Pace Jr. has been made.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter broke the news on X.
