Vikings' Christian Darrisaw: Option exercised

The Vikings exercised Darrisaw's 2025 fifth-year option.

The 24-year-old was the No. 23 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and has started 39 of 41 games he's appeared in since entering the league. Darrisaw has yet to make a Pro Bowl or be named an All-Pro, but he's an above-average, rock-solid left tackle and will either protect Sam Darnold or rookie J.J. McCarthy's blind side this upcoming season.
