The Vikings wrapped up contracts for the 15-man draft class on Thursday afternoon, officially announcing deals for first-round picks Justin Jefferson and Jeff Gladney, among 12 others, on the day rookies and quarterbacks reported for training camp.
Under contract well ahead of an actual football practice are Jefferson, Gladney, second-round tackle Ezra Cleveland, third-round cornerback Cameron Dantzler, fourth-round picks defensive linemen James Lynch and D.J. Wonnum, fifth-round picks receiver K.J. Osborn and cornerback Harrison Hand, sixth-round picks guard Blake Brandel and safety Josh Metellus and seventh-round picks defensive end Kenny Willekes, safety Brian Cole II and guard Kyle Hinton.
Seventh-round quarterback Nate Stanley signed his contract earlier this month. Some of the top signing bonuses include Jefferson's $7.1 million and Gladney's $5.6 million, which are four-year contracts with values slotted by draft position. Only Jefferson's contract, for being selected 22nd overall, is fully guaranteed at $13.1 million. Gladney's will be slightly less than fully guaranteed at $11 million.
Five rookies agreed to contracts earlier on Wednesday, including Jefferson and tackle Ezra Cleveland.
