The Minnesota Vikings and tight end Kyle Rudolph have agreed to terms on a contract extension.
The deal keeps the team’s longest-tenured offensive player in place despite a tight salary cap situation.
Rudolph had entered the final year of his previous contract with a $7.25 million non-guaranteed salary, putting him at risk for being released after Alabama tight end Irv Smith Jr. was drafted in the second round.
Rudolph, a two-time Pro Bowl pick, had 64 receptions for 634 yards in 2018.
