The Minnesota Vikings and fullback/special teams ace C.J. Ham reached an agreement on a two-year contract extension last week.
The deal is worth $8.65 million with $4.4 million guaranteed, including a $2.3 million signing bonus.
Here is the full breakdown of Ham’s new deal.
| Year | Base Salary | Cap Hit |
|---|---|---|
2022 | $1.1 million | $2.716 million |
2023 | $2.4 million | $3.266 million |
2024 | $2.55 million | $3.416 million |
Ham caught 10 passes for 86 yards in 2022, while adding four carries for seven yards and two rushing touchdowns. His hard-nosed running style and physical blocking often helps the team win in short yardage situations.
Ham has missed just two games in six seasons with Minnesota, and was a special teams captain last year. While he serves in a limited role on offense, Ham is an important part of the team's culture.
