The Minnesota Vikings are building a strong offensive line for the long haul.

They've already locked in left tackle Christian Derrisa to a new extension, and now right

tackle Brian O'Neill looks like the next in line for a big deal.

While the team juggles its salary-captus off-season, O'Neill's contract talks might hit a short

delay.

Still, reports say it's already baked into their budget, along with plans for why receiver

Jordan Addison.

Fans mostly agree O'Neill deserves the security after years of solid play.

Though Addison's extension stirs debate with his off-field troubles and uneven performance

last year.

O'Neill, a 30-year-old mainstay, joined the Vikings in the second round of the 2018 draft

and has stayed ever since.

He earned rookie of the year honors and made probals in 2021 and 2024.

With 124 games under his belt across 9 seasons, including at least 14 each year, O'Neill

anchors the line as the Vikings.

Push forward with their roster plans.
