Vikings safety Theo Jackson agreed to a contract extension on Thursday.
The team confirmed the signing and multiple media outlets reported the value of the two-year deal is $12.615 million through 2027.
The first two years are fully guaranteed a social media post by Equity Sports Agency. The Vikings did not disclose terms but noted Jackson, who is primarily a special teams player, was due to become an exclusive rights free agent with the new league year starting on March 12.
Jackson, 26, played in all 17 regular-season games last season as well as the Vikings’ loss to the Los Angeles Rams in a NFC wild-card playoff game.
He totaled 17 tackles in the regular season with one interception and three passes defensed. He played 78 defensive snaps and 340 on special teams.
Jackson’s career totals are 47 tackles, two interceptions and four passes defensed in 43 games.
The Tennessee Titans selected Jackson in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of Tennessee. The Vikings signed him from the Titans’ practice squad in October 2022.
