Mandatory Credit: Raymond Carlin III-Imagn Images Minnesota Vikings defensive lineman Jalen Redmond signed his exclusive rights free-agent tender for the 2026 season, the team announced on Tuesday.
Redmond, 27, started 15 of the 17 regular-season games and recorded 62 tackles, six sacks, 12 tackles for loss, eight quarterback hits, one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries and five passes defended.
He was in on 74% of the defensive snaps (793) and 19% on special teams (86).
In two seasons with Minnesota, Redmond has 80 tackles, seven sacks, 18 tackles for loss, nine QB hits, one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries and seven passes defended in 30 regular-season games (17 starts).
The Carolina Panthers signed the undrafted free agent out of Oklahoma in May 2023. They later placed him on the physically unable to perform list during his first training camp before waiving him that August.
He signed with the Vikings in June 2024 after playing for the XFL's Arlington Renegades.
