Vikings Re-Sign DB Tavierre Thomas

The veteran initially joined the organization on a one-year deal last offseason. The Vikings are committing to him for at least another two seasons, with Schefter noting that Thomas will earn a total of $4.6MM on the new deal.

Thomas primarily played on special teams during his first season with the Vikings. He ended up getting into all 17 games with his new squad, collecting 23 tackles.

The 30-year-old played a similar role with the Buccaneers in 2024, but he was a key part of the Texans secondary between 2021 and 2023. He started 19 of his 36 appearances over that span, collecting 178 tackles, five forced fumbles, and six passes defended. He also tallied a pair of interceptions during the 2021 campaign, including a pick-six.

Thomas can expect a similiar special teams role in 2026. The team added James Pierre to their secondary, but they could clear up some depth by not re-signing Fabian Moreau and Jeff Okudah.
