Darrisaw, the Vikings' first-round pick in 2021 , will receive up to $113 million in new money, including $77 million guaranteed, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.Darrisaw, who turned 25 last month, had two years remaining on his rookie deal and is now signed through the 2029 season. The agreement was finalized on the day Vikings veterans reported to training camp, one day before their first practice and one month after they signed receiverDarrisaw became a starter early in his rookie season and has held down his position ever since, slowed only by a series of relatively minor injuries. He missed five games in 2021, three in 2022 and two in 2023.
Otherwise, however, he has endeared himself to the organization with exceptionally versatile play at the position, demonstrating a level of comfort with both in-line blocking and when out in space. He has yet to make a Pro Bowl or All-Pro team, but coach Kevin O'Connell has repeatedly praised him as a core player for the franchise and one who will eventually receive outside recognition as among the best left tackles in the game.
