A $2M pay cut worth Super Bowl run for Vikings' Brian Robison
EAGAN, Minn. -- Brian Robison wasn't ready to call it quits.
The veteran defensive end noted his decision to come back for a 12th season with the Minnesota Vikings was "tough" but wanted to give his football career one more shot to complete some unfinished business.
Before he was able to do that, Robison and the Vikings had to tend to some business of their own ahead of OTAs.
The 35-year-old defensive end agreed to a contract restructure, reducing his base salary from $3.2 million to $1.015 million for the 2018 season, per ESPN's Field Yates. In turn the Vikings were able to free up $2.38 million in cap space, giving them $17.1 million to work with for the 2018 season.
