The Minnesota Vikings don’t have a lot of playmakers on the defensive side of the ball, but they do have a solid, young pass-rusher in defensive end Brian Robison.

Today, the Vikings announced that Robison reached agreement on a contract extension, which is bigger than the three-year, $14.1 million contract he signed back in 2011:
