Rudolph has agreed to a four-year, $36 million extension with the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rudolph and the Vikings have been hammering out the specifics of the extension over the past two months and have finally reached an agreement. Rudolph has spent his entire eight-year career in Minnesota, totaling 386 receptions for 3,787 yards and 41 touchdowns in 112 career games. In 2018, Rudolph was third on the team with 64 receptions for 634 yards and four touchdowns, clearly showing he remains one of the top fantasy tight ends in the game. The Vikings also drafted tight end Irv Smith in the second round of April's draft but it's clearly Rudolph's job for now -- and he won't be going anywhere for quite some time.

Hoping this was more of a sign and trade approach, but he could be a solid mentor for Irv for a year or two, I suppose.

He’s rich. He’ll stop trying. The time to sell boat has sailed.

I think Irv is going to outplay him sooner rather than later. Regardless, Rudolph is a good TE
