Details Emerge About Justin Jefferson’s Potential Contract Extension
The Minnesota Vikings have a superstar on their hands.
Justin Jefferson has been a breath of fresh air for the organization since he was drafted, dominating defenses every season.
To this point, it hasn’t mattered who his quarterback is, Jefferson can seemingly get it done no matter who is throwing him the ball.
Jefferson is an example of the new age of the NFL draft, where teams are placing a greater emphasis on the wide receiver position.
College competition has gotten significantly better over the past few years, which is why players like Jefferson have been able to thrive in their rookie seasons.
Now that Jefferson has shown that he is one of the league’s best receivers, he is looking to sign a massive contract extension.
Some numbers have been thrown around over the past several weeks, but they are unconfirmed until he signs his deal.
There has been a recent development with Jefferson’s contract, as several analysts have reported.
According to Adam Schefter via The Purple Persuasion, Jefferson is slated to get the highest non-quarterback contract in league history.
Nick Bosa makes $34 million per year, but, as The Purple Persuasion calls out, Jefferson’s contract could be for even more than that.
It’s hard to put a price on what a player like Jefferson means to an organization, but if this report is any indication, the team is willing to pay top dollar.
Many people believe Jefferson is already the best receiver in the NFL, and this massive contract could help confirm that.
