As the Vikings launch into their rookie minicamp, all rookie draft picks have signed contracts, except one. The one who hasn’t been signed was the first one they picked.
Receiver Laquon Treadwell does not yet have a contract; the teams other seven selections do.
Under contract are second-round cornerback Mackensie Alexander, fourth-round guard Willie Beavers, fifth-round linebacker Kentrell Brothers, sixth-round tight end David Morgan, sixth-round receiver Moritz Boehringer, seventh-round defensive end Stephen Weatherly, and seventh-round safety Jayron Kearse.
As noted by Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, Treadwell has signed an injury-protection letter that allows him to participate in minicamp and offseason workouts without a contract.
Whatever the hangup, Treadwell should refuse to practice until the deal is done -- as should every draft pick who is expected to show up and work without a deal in place.
