Vikings' Andrew Van Ginkel: Inks one-year extension
Van Ginkel agreed to terms Tuesday on a one-year, $23 million contract extension with the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Van Ginkel gets paid following a tremendous debut year with Minnesota in which he tallied 79 tackles (50 solo), including a career-high 11.5 sacks across 17 regular-season games. The 29-year-old also had six pass breakups, including two interceptions (both pick-sixes), and one forced fumble. Van Ginkel has proven big-play ability in the Vikings' defensive scheme, and he figures to remain a high-impact fantasy option in IDP formats during the 2025 campaign.

Vikings' Andrew Van Ginkel: Career-high 11.5 sacks in 2024
Van Ginkel finished the 2024 season with 79 tackles (50 solo), including 11.5 sacks, six pass breakups, including two interceptions, and one forced fumble across 17 regular-season contests.
After playing for Vikings DC Brian Flores previously with the Dolphins, Van Ginkel signed a two-year, $20 million deal with Minnesota last offseason and answered with a career year. His 11.5 sacks tied T.J. Watt for eighth-most in the league and nearly doubled Van Ginkel's previous career best of 6.0 from 2023. Van Ginkel also returned both of his interceptions for touchdowns, leading the league in pick-sixes despite being an edge rusher. It all earned Van Ginkel his first Pro Bowl nomination and second-team All-Pro honors. Van Ginkel turns 30 years old in July and should again be a prominent playmaker off the edge for Minnesota next season.

Van Ginkel totaled five tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 27-24 Week 16 win against the Seahawks.
Van Ginkel took over the game from a defensive standpoint in the fourth quarter, during which he notched four of his five stops. Among those were a third-down sack of Geno Smith that forced a punt and a first-down sack of Smith on a Seattle drive that ended with a missed field goal three snaps later. The sacks were Van Ginkel's first since Week 12 against Chicago. He's up to a career-high 11.0 sacks in his first season with Minnesota.

Vikings' Andrew Van Ginkel: Limited to open week
Van Ginkel (thigh) was estimated to be a limited participant at the Vikings' walkthrough Thursday.
Van Ginkel has been able to play through the thigh injury for each of Minnesota's last two games, so his limited participation isn't a major concern. The linebacker will have two more chances to increase his participation at practice this week before Monday's matchup with the Bears.
