The Minnesota Vikings remain very active in this year’s Free Agency and use their great financial scope. After Ryan Kelly’s commitment yesterday, it was now agreed with another ex-colts line.
Offensive Guard Will Fries is the latest piece of the puzzle of this Vikings-OffSeason. His new team equips him with a five -year contract that can be worth up to $ 88 million.
Fries came to the Indianapolis Colts in the NFL Draft in 2021 and was able to secure a place as a starter in the course of his second season. Since then, Fries has always taken big steps.
He played an extremely strong season last year. He was particularly convincing in Run Blocking, but he also has quality in Pass Protection. The 26-year-old was considered by “PFF” with the fourth best ranking of all the guards, which underpins his good performance.

NFL: Aggressive Vikings with a focus on the line of scrimmage
The obligation of Will Fries, meanwhile, absolutely fits into the picture that the Minnesota Vikings has so far emit. They aggressively address the Free Agency and focus on the line of scrimmage and that on both sides of the ball. The Ryan Kelly Center already took an offensive Lineman from Indianapolis with the Center Ryan Kelly. As Will Fries, the veteran should provide more stability and protection.
On the other side of the ball, defensive Tackle Jonathan Allen was agreed on a three -year contract (up to $ 60 million). Everyone was only released by the Commanders last week.
In addition, Tom Pelissero reports from the “NFL Network” that an agreement is imminent with Javon Hargrave as soon as he is released from the San Francisco 49ers. Hargrave would give the defensive line of the Vikings another upgrade.
In addition, in the secondary with Byron Murphy, they agreed on a new contract. The Cornerback played a very strong pre -season and was one of the great profiteers from the new Defense Coordinator Brian Flores.
