Minnesota had 15 draft picks in this year’s draft, which was a record for a seven-round NFL draft.
The team’s picks led to them not having to fill out the roster with a lot undrafted free agents. So for the team’s 12 signees in undrafted free agency, the Vikings offered a lot of guaranteed money in order to retain them.
Sources with access to NFLPA salary data told the Star Tribune, the Vikings offered $473,300 to their undrafted free agents. The team also gave out $103,300 in signing bonuses and $370,000 in 2020 base salary guarantees.
