The Minnesota Vikings have made it a point to make sure they are protecting whoever is under center with a strong offensive line. They have done a good job drafting their bookend tackles while showing off their front office skills, while building the interior in a variety of ways.
One of those pieces is entering his final year on his deal. Offensive tackle Brian O'Neill has been around the team while contract talks go on, some have started to give them replacements in mock drafts. In the eyes of Bleacher Report's Brent Sobleski, the Vikings need to make it a point to give him a new deal.
Sobleski writes, "Along the offensive line, Brian O'Neill has been a stalwart at right tackle, with 120 starts in eight NFL seasons. Despite turning 31 later this year, he should be in line for one more contract extension to ensure Kevin O'Connell's offense features talented bookend blockers."
O'Neill does not get enough credit for being one of the better offensive tackles in the NFL, but Bleacher Report is taking notice. The Vikings know what they have but with a new front office now in place, it will be interesting to see how this ends up going for all parties involved.
