Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that the Vikings and LB Eric Wilson have agreed to terms on a three-year, $22.5 million deal.
In total, Wilson receives $12.5 million fully guaranteed as part of this agreement, per Garafolo.
Wilson, 31, was signed by the Vikings as an undrafted free agent out of Cincinnati in 2017. He played out the final year of his three-year, $1.66 million contract after making the final roster each of his first three seasons.
The Vikings brought Wilson back on a second-round restricted tender worth $3.27 million for the 2020 season. He signed with the Eagles on a one-year deal for 2021 and was later claimed by the Texans.
From there, Wilson joined the Saints but was released coming out of the preseason and later added to their practice squad. However, he was poached from the practice squad by the Packers in 2022. He re-signed with the Packers on two consecutive one year deals before returning to the Vikings last year.
In 2025, Wilson appeared in all 17 games for the Vikings and recorded 115 tackles, 17 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks and four forced fumbles.
