The Minnesota Vikings have signed linebacker Eric Kendricks to a multiyear contract extension.
The Vikings announced the deal on the first day of offseason workouts. Kendricks has one year left on his rookie contract.
He was drafted in the second round out of UCLA in 2015 and became a starter on one of the top defenses in the NFL.
Kendricks has led the Vikings in total tackles in each of his first three seasons. He’s the second player in franchise history to do so, joining Rip Hawkins.
