Vikings offensive tackle Brian O'Neill practices during minicamp

Minnesota Vikings offensive tackle Brian O'Neill is participating in mandatory minicamp as he seeks a new contract. After observing previous OTAs, O'Neill returned to practice this week while negotiations continue regarding his future. He enters the final year of his current five-year, $92 million deal signed in September 2021. At 31 years old this September, the negotiating dynamics may shift given the age factor for offensive tackles. His presence on the field is beneficial for the Vikings, especially as they evaluate their quarterbacks.
