After growing in Minnesota, linebacker Blake Cashman agreed to a deal on Monday that will give him a chance to play for the hometown Vikings. A source confirmed the agreement to the Pioneer Press.

A native of Eden Prairie, Minnesota, Cashman, starred for the hometown Gophers in college before being selected by the New York Jets in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft. He went on to play the Houston Texans, recording 106 tackles across 14 games last season.

It will be a 3-year, $25.5 million deal for Cashman, 27, according to NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero.
