Vikings Make Sneaky Cap Move Right Before Season Opener
Just 48 hours before their season opener, the Vikings made a sneaky cap move that could hint at more roster changes to come.
The Minnesota Vikings made a last-minute adjustment to their roster just 48 hours before their Season Opener game against the Green Bay Packers. According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the team revised the contract of starting cornerback Isaiah Rodgers to convert up to $1.5 million in incentives into a signing bonus. Rodgers, the Colts' sixth-round pick out of UMass, previously played for the Eagles and Vikings in 2023.
With this move, Rodgers will be owed around $5.94 million in 2026, with potential additional earnings if he earns Pro Bowl or All-Pro honors. This financial adjustment raises questions about the Vikings' future plans, especially considering J.J. McCarthy's trade rumors and his current status as QB3 behind Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz.
