Minnesota Vikings versatile safety Josh Metellus agreed to terms on a multi-year extension, head coach Kevin O'Connell announced on Saturday.
While the Vikings did not divulge terms of the deal, multiple media outlets reported it was a three-year, $36 million extension. Agent Drew Rosenhaus said the contract has a maximum value of $42 million that includes $25 million guaranteed.
Metellus, 27, was slated to earn $3.675 million in 2025 before the start of the extension.
"I think, last year at one point, I counted in one game he lined up in seven different spots," O'Connell said about Metellus. "I think his role is wildly dynamic."
Metellus recorded 103 tackles and a career-high two interceptions in 17 games (10 starts) last season.
He has totaled 283 tackles, five forced fumbles and four interceptions in 82 career games (30 starts) since being selected by Minnesota in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
