That will be great, now we need to find Phat Pat the fountain of youth.

That is great to hear.
Hopefully he can pick up his sack total next year though!

With Ej coming back next year it'll take some of the 2x dbl team that the williams are demanding.. our Rush D should remain as one of the top.. and hopefully this will help solidify a pass rush that will be just as dominant!!!

Thats so much money. I hope he makes himself worth being the highest paid DT in the NFL. Is Pat going to be around for another year and continue to dominate?

I have been waiting for this news.

I'm really glad they got this extension in

I think that is what they are hoping for here... Signing K Williams to an extension is a no brainer for the Vikings.. They resigned EJ Henderson to an extension, now I wonder if they will resign N Harris? Having the whole defense back is a good way to get them all on the same page.. If they get better together, they will work better together.. Good to see the Vikes did this now..

great news of keeping the #1 rush defence alive

All we need is some presentable secondary and we'll be the 2005 Bears with a greater O
