Josh Metellus will continue to wear the purple and gold for years to come. The Minnesota Vikings' safety entered the offseason with questions looming about his future with the franchise. But the wait is finally over.

At the time of his commitment, safety Josh Metellus was considered by many to be a take due to Michigan football coveting his high school teammate, linebacker Devin Bush. Yet, the former Miami (Fla.) Charles Flanagan three-star didn't just come along in his own right, he continues to ascend -- well beyond his years in Ann Arbor.

The Minnesota Vikings have agreed to a three-year contract extension with safety Josh Metellus. The deal, announced Saturday, is worth $36 million, with $25 million guaranteed, a person with knowledge of the contract told The Associated Press.
