Report: Vikings to sign Marcus Davenport to 1-year, $13M deal

The Minnesota Vikings have agreed to terms with pass-rusher Marcus Davenport, sources told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

The deal is for one year and $13 million, Rapoport adds.

Davenport has spent his entire five-year career with the New Orleans Saints, who traded up in the 2018 draft to select him 14th overall.

The 26-year-old only had 0.5 sacks in 15 games last season after racking up nine sacks in 11 contests in 2021.

Vikings pass-rusher Za'Darius Smith reportedly requested his release from the team last week.
