The move was expected after coach Mike Zimmer just recently signed a three-year extension that runs through 2023. Spielman, like Zimmer prior to his brand-new deal, had one year staying on his existing deal.
Spielman ended up being the Vikings General Manager in 2012, six years after getting here in Minnesota as vice president of gamer workers. The group has made the postseason 4 of his eight seasons as G.M. and reached the NFC Championship Game in the 2017 season.
It is expected that their agreements will line up yet again.

The Vikings got younger in the offseason, releasing Xavier Rhodes and Linval Joseph and not re-signing Everson Griffen. They prepared 15 gamers in April, the most choices a team has made given that the NFL went to a seven-round draft in 1994.
The Vikings are nearing completion on a multiyear deal for General Manager Rick Spielman, Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports Sunday night.
