The Minnesota Vikings have adjusted the contract of cornerback Isaiah Rodgers, converting $1.5 million of his 2026 playing-time incentives into a signing bonus. The original agreement would have required Rodgers to play at least 85 percent of defensive snaps to earn the additional compensation. This modification increases his guaranteed earnings for the 2026 season to $5.94 million. Rodgers signed a two-year, $11.045 million deal last year and appeared in 17 games with 15 starts during the 2025 season. He remains eligible for additional bonuses if he earns Pro Bowl or All-Pro honors. A former sixth-round pick, Rodgers recorded two defensive touchdowns during a Week 3 performance against the Cincinnati Bengals last year.
