The Vikings have agreed to re-sign linebacker Erin Henderson a two-year contract, PFT’s Mike Florio confirmed Tuesday.

The Vikings’ weak side linebacker, the 26-year-old Henderson played 14 games (10 starts) in 2012, recording a career-high 80 tackles and defending three passes. He has started 21 games in the last two seasons for Minnesota.

The Vikings have emphasized re-signing their own players early in the offseason. In addition to Henderson, the Vikings have kept right tackle Phil Loadholt, fullback Jerome Felton and wideout Jerome Simpson.
