The $13 million free agent star for the Vikings has signed an agreement to return back, according to an insider.
The Vikings signed Davenport to a one-year contract worth up to $13 million in the hopes of teaming up the former first-round pick of the New Orleans Saints with Danielle Hunter to create one of the most formidable pass-rush combinations in the league.
However, a right ankle sprain limited Davenport to just two complete games during the first six weeks of play. He then had surgery on his left ankle and has been on injured reserve ever since.
On Tuesday, December 19, Darren Wolfson of KSTP reported that the injury doesn’t seem to be in doubt any longer. Nearly two weeks have passed since Davenport was taken out of the walking boot, and the Vikings “thought he’d be back by now.”
According to Wolfson, the more important question is Davenport’s “desire” to return to the field.
On the “Mackey and Judd” podcast from SKOR North, Wolfson stated, “There has been optimism in the building going back weeks that he will be back.” He has a motivation to participate. Even though he receives these bonuses for being active, there are still some unanswered questions. It’s up to the player in the end. The desire to play is required. There are inquiries regarding the player’s desires.
