The Viking responsible for nabbing Minnesota's first interception of 2023 has become the first pending free agent to re-sign with the team for 2024.

Theo Jackson, an exclusive rights free agent, has re-signed with the Vikings, the team announced Wednesday.

Jackson first joined Minnesota in 2022 before the Vikings Week 6 game at Miami. He played primarily on special teams that season (275 snaps, compared to 18 on defense) and returned in 2023 for a role that included more opportunities under Defensive Coordinator Brian Flores in 2023.

Jackson entered Minnesota's Week 2 game at Philadelphia when Josh Metellus left the game because of an injury. He played 21 snaps against the Eagles and picked off Jalen Hurts for his first career interception.

The native of Nashville, Tennessee, recorded 21 tackles, a pass defensed and a QB hit over the course of 126 defensive snaps.

After playing for Overton High School and at the University of Tennessee, Jackson was drafted by his hometown Titans with the 204th overall pick of the 2022 NFL Draft.

Howie: Even Sid would call this Vikings meltdown 'Unbelievable'

The Vikings wrote the book on heartbreak, but today’s stomach-turner didn’t even come with heartbreak. There was no drama. No tension. No what-if. Just a full-scale tap-out from a team that decided the fight wasn’t worth the bruises.

Howie: Vikings burning it down

Every move is sold as “strategic.” Every mistake is “part of the process.” Every loss is “valuable learning.” It’s a corporate PowerPoint in shoulder pads. This isn’t football anymore. It’s asset management in cleats.

Howie: Three wins, two QBs, one big mess

That’s Vikings football. Never boring, rarely logical, always exhausting. The highs, the lows, the quarterback merry-go-round, the running game that doesn’t exist, the offensive line held together with medical tape — it’s the same play, different actors.

Howie: Monsters to move to Amsoil, where the fan experience will immediately improve significantly

Duluth has always supported teams that show up honestly and invest consistently. The formula hasn’t changed. Don’t overpromise. Don’t disappear when things get hard. Build something people can recognize as theirs. When that happens, this city responds — not with blind loyalty, but with earned trust.
