Theo Jackson Agrees To Two-Year Extension With Vikings
Minnesota Vikings safety Theo Jackson signed a two-year, $12.6 million contract extension to remain with the organization through 2027, according to NFL.com. Jackson was selected by the Tennessee Titans in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of the University of Tennessee but did not make the active roster and landed with the Vikings to begin his career. In three seasons with Minnesota, he has racked up 47 total tackles (29 solo), two interceptions, and four pass deflections in 43 games. Jackson has special teams ability and is a valuable depth piece in Minnesota's secondary led by Brian Flores.
Minnesota Vikings safety Theo Jackson is re-signing with the team ahead of the 2024 season. Originally a sixth-round pick out of the University of Tennessee in 2022, Jackson was released during final roster cuts by the Tennessee Titans. Minnesota signed him afterward, and he has been a key special teams contributor and rotational defensive back over the last two seasons. The 25-year-old has compiled 30 tackles, one interception, and one pass defended in 26 games to start his career.
