Trent Sherfield : Joining Minnesota WR corps
The Vikings are set to sign Sherfield to a one-year deal, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Per Goessling, Sherfield's deal is for $1.79 million and includes a $400,000 signing bonus. In 17 regular-season games with the Bills in 2023, Sherfield caught 11 of his 22 targets for 86 yards and one touchdown. With the Vikings, the 28-year-old figures to compete with Brandon Powell for wideout snaps and targets behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.
Jerry Tillery : Finds new home
Tillery agreed to a one-year contract worth up to $3.75 million with the Vikings on Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Tillery was a cap casualty of the Raiders on Wednesday, and the 2019 first-round selection will now suit up with Minnesota in 2024. In 17 contests last season, the Notre Dame product tallied 31 combined tackles, including 2.0 sacks and also recovered a fumble. He should bolster the team's depth at nose tackle for the upcoming season.
Blake Brandel : Gets new deal
Brandel re-signed with the Vikings on Monday. Brandel has mostly played in a reserve role since getting selected by Minnesota in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He'll likely remain a depth piece for the team in 2024.
Harrison Smith : Staying in purple and gold
Minnesota is restructuring Smith's contract, putting him in line to return for his 13th NFL season, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Smith turned 35 in February, but he'll apparently be coming back for at least one more campaign anyways. Provided his playing time isn't cut drastically, he could be a candidate to return fringe IDP value in 2024.
Jonathan Bullard : Returning to Vikings
Bullard has agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Vikings, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Bullard will remain in Minnesota after posting 44 tackles, including 2.0 sacks, in 2023. Both marks were career highs for the 30-year-old Bullard. He'll likely reprise his role as a rotational piece along the defensive line in 2024 after starting 21 games for the Vikings over the past two seasons and appearing in 29.
John Parker Romo : Signs with kicker-less Vikings
Romo signed a contract with the Vikings on Wednesday. Romo excelled in the XFL in 2023, making 17 of 19 field-goal attempts, including nine of 10 from beyond 40 yards. He has yet to play in a regular-season NFL game, but Romo currently occupies the top spot on Minnesota's organizational depth chart, as 2023 Vikings kicker Greg Joseph is a free agent.
Nick Mullens : Now backing up Darnold, not Cousins
Mullens looks set to work as the top backup to Sam Darnold, who is slated to ink a one-year deal with Minnesota, while Kirk Cousins is primed to move on to Atlanta, Christian Gonzales of NFL.com reports. Mullens and 2023 fifth-round pick Jaren Hall are currently the Vikings' only options at quarterback behind Darnold, though the team could further bolster the position in free agency or the 2024 NFL Draft. Now heading into the final year of his contact, and having spent the last two seasons as a backup for Minnesota, Mullens could be cut with only $375,000 in dead money, but the team may see value in a veteran already familiar with the present offensive scheme. The Vikings hold the No. 11 pick in April's draft and could be a candidate to select a quarterback there, or to move up the board.
Blake Cashman : Signing three-year deal with Vikings
Cashman is slated to sign a three-year contract with the Vikings, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports. Cashman can make up to $22.5 million over the course of the contract. The oft-injured linebacker put together a healthy and productive 2023 season in Houston, posting 106 tackles (56 solo) in 14 appearances. Cashman's expected to fill a starting role for the Vikings, and this will be a homecoming for the Minnesota native.
