With this agreement, Jefferson would become the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history.
Justin Jefferson is going to get a big reward for his patience. According to ESPN, the wideout for the Vikings is expected to sign a contract extension that will make him the highest-paid wideout in NFL history.
According to the article, Jefferson is set to get more than $30 million a year from his arrangement. In the history of the NFL, no wideout has ever earned more than $30 million a year. Tyreek Hill, a wide receiver for the Dolphins, is the only receiver that earns $30 million annually.
Hill agreed to a four-year, $120 million contract worth $72 million in guarantees and a $25.5 million signing bonus. Jefferson’s new contract is anticipated to significantly outpace those figures.
Jefferson found himself in this situation as a result of his remarkable career debut. Over 3,000 receiving yards were amassed by the 2020 first-round selection during
It was recently revealed that prior to negotiating a contract extension, Jefferson wanted to know the Vikings’ quarterbacking strategy. Presumably, Jefferson wants to play with Kirk Cousins going forward, as the player is set to become a free agent.
Although there is uncertainty surrounding the Vikings’ quarterback plans, it seems probable that Jefferson will stay in Minnesota for the long run.
