The Minnesota Vikings worked overtime to rebuild in the trenches, adding two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Jonathan Allen and guard Will Fries on multi-year deals.

The Vikings announced the agreement with Allen. His agent, Blake Baratz of Team IFA, shared financial details and told outlets the deal is three years and $60 million.

ESPN reported that the agreement between Fries and the Vikings has a value of $88 million over five years.

Allen was released by the Commanders last week in a cost-cutting move after unsuccessfully attempting to trade him.

Allen was entering the final season of a four-year, $72 million contract but had no guaranteed money remaining on the deal. The move saved Washington $16.35 million toward the salary cap.

Allen, 30, was limited to eight games in 2024 because of a torn left pectoral muscle.

A Pro Bowl selection in 2021 and 2022, Allen totaled 401 career tackles, 42 sacks and 118 quarterback hits in 109 career games (108 starts). He was selected by Washington with the 17th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.

Fries, 26, spent his first four NFL seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, who selected him in the seventh round of the 2021 draft.

He was limited to five games last season because of a serious leg injury suffered in Week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He has played in 41 games (31 starts) and in his 22 starts in 2023-24, he allowed five sacks.

In Minnesota, he'll be reunited with center Ryan Kelly, who was a four-time Pro Bowl selection with the Colts. Multiple outlets reported Monday that Kelly, 31, was joining the Vikings on a two-year, $18 million contract.
