Defensive end Marcus Davenport’s one-year contract with the Vikings originally featured four voidable years, which effectively reduced his 2023 cap hit to $6.2 million. However, the contract was set to void on Monday, resulting in $6.8 million in dead money against the Vikings’ 2024 cap.
According to ESPN’s Kevin Seifert, the Vikings renegotiated the void date of the deal over the weekend. The new void date is now March 11, aligning with the expiration dates of contracts for Kirk Cousins and Danielle Hunter. This adjustment provides the parties with additional time to assess whether there is mutual interest in a new deal.
Davenport’s contract included an $8.5 million signing bonus, a $1.5 million salary, and $468,000 in roster bonuses for the four games he played. Unfortunately, Davenport’s season came to an early end due to a high-ankle sprain diagnosed during an October 15 game against the Bears.
