EAGAN, Minn. — The Vikings on Friday announced they have signed eight of the nine players selected during the 2026 NFL Draft.
Caleb Banks, Domonique Orange, Caleb Tiernan, Jakobe Thomas, Max Bredeson, Charles Demmings, Demond Claiborne and Gavin Gerhardt were able to finalize their first pro contracts before Friday's rookie minicamp practice.
Second-round pick Jake Golday's contract remains to be completed.
The signings occurred as this year's draft picks, undrafted free agents and players invited on a tryout basis are arriving in Minnesota to participate in the team's rookie minicamp, which will include a practice open to media members on Friday.
After this weekend's minicamp, the participants will join Vikings veterans in the voluntary offseason workout program on Monday.
