James Lynch signs rookie contract

Related Topics: James Lynch, Minnesota Vikings

The fifth member of the Minnesota Vikings 2020 draft class to sign his rookie contract is one that I, personally, think can have a big impact early on for the purple.

Defensive lineman James Lynch has signed his rookie contract with the Vikings, agreeing to a four-year, $3.985 million deal that includes a signing bonus of just under $700,000. He was the second of the team’s three fourth-round picks this past April.

Lynch had an outstanding final season at Baylor, being named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and a Unanimous All-American.
