MINNEAPOLIS – Fullback C.J. Ham has agreed to sign a three-year contract extension with the Minnesota Vikings, his agent Blake Baratz said Monday. Ham, a restricted free agent, had one year remaining on his contract, so he’s now signed with the organization through the 2023 season. The Duluth, Minn., native and former star running back at Augustana, S.D. signed with Minnesota as an undrafted free agent in 2016 and is coming off a breakout year in 2019 when the 26-year-old found a role in the screen game and caught 17 passes from quarterback Kirk Cousins for 149 yards and his first career touchdown. Ham’s biggest role, of course, has been blocking for Dalvin Cook and the other Vikings running backs. Minnesota’s rushing attack ranked sixth in the NFL last season, averaging 133.3 yards per contest Baratz announced the news of Ham’s signing on Twitter.
