Vikings, Dalvin Tomlinson Buy More Time To Negotiate
2 years agoMinnesota Vikings defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson's deal was set to void in recent days, which would have pushed $7.5 million of dead money onto the team's 2023 salary cap. Instead, both sides agreed to move the void date to March 15, which buys them more time to reach a long-term contract extension to avoid all $7.5 million hitting the 2023 cap. The 28-year-old former second-rounder in 2017 played in a career-low 13 games for the Vikings in 2022 due to a calf injury, causing him to play a career-low 523 defensive snaps. He finished the year with 42 tackles (20 solo), 2.5 sacks, three tackles for loss, 10 QB hits, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
