The Minnesota Vikings and its first-round pick Dallas Turner officially came to terms on his first professional contract on Sunday.
The former Alabama edge rusher was the SEC defensive player of the year last season after registering a total of 11 sacks, 53 tackles and two forced fumbles before being selected No. 17 overall in April’s draft.
ESPN reporter Adam Schefter announced Turner is receiving a fully guaranteed deal, signing a four-year contract worth $15.76 million that includes a $8.28 million signing bonus and a fifth-year team option from Minnesota to complete their 2024 rookie signing class.
This should have the Vikings organization excited as they expect Turner to be a key addition defensively upfront early on.
