Vikings lock up right tackle Brian O’Neill with four‑year, $96 million extension

Brian O’Neill Minnesota Vikings contract extension four-year deal $96 million

Minnesota Vikings right tackle Brian O’Neill, a two‑time Pro Bowl selection drafted in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft, signed a four‑year contract extension worth up to $96 million. The deal runs through the 2030 season and replaces the final year of his previous five‑year, $92.5 million contract.

O’Neill has started 120 games over eight seasons, is a five‑time team captain, and previously returned from a partial Achilles tear in 2023. The extension was announced on July 28 2026, shortly after the Vikings hired new general manager Nolan Teasley and completed discussions that began at the NFL combine. The contract keeps the veteran lineman in Minnesota and frees about $14 million in cap space for the 2026 season.

Head coach Kevin O’Connell praised O’Neill’s leadership and durability, noting his role in stabilizing the offensive line as the Vikings prepare for the upcoming season.
