Here are the 10 players the Vikings signed to futures contracts

All 10 players were on the Vikings’ practice squad.

The Vikings turned their attention to the future of the organization after Sunday’s season-ending 30-20 loss to Detroit.
Minnesota signed 10 players on Monday, everything from the practice squad to futures contracts. 10 players:

Receiver Triston Jackson

Receiver Enkiel Harry

Receiver Sayre Thomas

Running back Dwayne McBride

Cornerback Jo Juan Williams

Cornerback Jaylin Williams

Linebacker Abraham Boplan

Fight Shy Kronk

Major General Henry Bird

Guard Tyrese Robinson

Wide receivers Jackson and Harry have both appeared in Vikings games this season. Jackson caught his first career pass in the Vikings’ 22-17 win over San Francisco. Harry, a former first-round pick of the Patriots, didn’t catch a pass but recorded 23 tackles and 49 special teams in nine games. Thomas was on the team’s practice squad throughout the season. McBride rushed for 3,523 yards in college and was a seventh-round pick by Minnesota in the 2023 draft. He did not play in a game this season. JoJuan Williams was on the team in training camp but was signed to the practice squad before the season started. The Bears cut Williams from the team’s practice squad and he appeared in two games in Chicago before being waived on Halloween. Minnesota reinstated Williams to the practice squad a day later.
Jaylin Williams appeared in three games for the Vikings in the second half of the season and recorded one tackle in Sunday’s loss. Boplan was a free agent who signed with the Vikings last April. The Vikings waived Boplan due to an injury near the end of training camp last August. After failing to sign with another team throughout the offseason, the rookie signed with the Vikings’ practice squad on January 2nd. Cronk joined Minnesota’s practice squad on Nov. 4 after being waived from Jacksonville’s practice squad the day before. Cronk has spent time with both Green Bay and the Jaguars since entering the league in 2021.
Both Byrd and Robinson finished the season on the Vikings’ practice squad, but did not play for Minnesota in 2023.
