Report: Vikings are interested in extending Stephen Weatherly
The young defensive end is currently entering the final year of his contract with the Minnesota Vikings after the team selected him in the 2016 NFL Draft.
Entering the final round of the 2016 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings had two more opportunities to add some young talent to their roster. With these two selections in the seventh round, the Vikings selected Vanderbilt pass rusher Stephen Weatherly and Clemson safety Jayron Kearse.
Both Weatherly and Kearse are still members of Minnesota’s roster, but each of them are also entering the final year of their current contracts. So the upcoming season could potentially be their last in a Vikings uniform.
