Vikings promote Kyle Van Noy, add incentives for performance

The Minnesota Vikings promoted linebacker Kyle Van Noy from the practice squad in conjunction with his impactful performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. Van Noy, who recorded 1.5 sacks in the Vikings' 23-16 victory, now has a contract worth $2.75 million with $2 million guaranteed. His deal includes $250,000 in incentives that kick in once he reaches four sacks, and he currently has 1.5 sacks. The Vikings’ defense leads the league with 14 sacks through three games. Van Noy’s experience is crucial as the Vikings, sitting at 3-0, prepare to host the Miami Dolphins (0-3) this Sunday.
