GM Rick Spielman, Vikings Agree to Contract Extension Through 2020 Season

The Minnesota Vikings are locking up their leaders for the foreseeable future.

Ben Goessling of the Star Tribune confirmed Tuesday that Vikings general manager Rick Spielman has received an extension through the 2020 season while noting that "it's hard not to think there could be changes if the Vikings don't win in 2019. Still remains a pivotal year for both him and [head coach Mike] Zimmer."

At the NFL owners' meetings in Phoenix, per Goessling's longer report, the Vikings co-owner Mark Wilf said that the franchise has "synced up" Spielman and Zimmer's contracts.
