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.
ANALYSIS
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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2021
Van Ginkel recorded a career-high six sacks among 69 total tackles along with eight passes defensed, including an interception last season in Miami. He should step right into a starting role on the strong side of Minnesota's linebacker corps after signing a two-year, $20 million contract. He'll be counted on as an impact edge rusher but could face competition for snaps from first-round pick Dallas Turner.
