In the Twin Cities, Justin Jefferson is not going anywhere. On Monday, the quick receiver created NFL history by agreeing to the highest-paying non-quarterback contract ever. A four-year, $140 million contract that includes a $110 million guarantee was reached between Jefferson and the Minnesota Vikings.
On Instagram, Jefferson verified the information and described it as “the deal I’ve been waiting for since I was a little kid.” Since being selected in the 2020 NFL Draft, Jefferson has developed into one of the most dynamic and prolific wide receivers in the game; this historic pact only serves to highlight his enormous worth to the Vikings.
The 24-year-old LSU graduate has cemented his status as one of the NFL’s top receivers by continuously stunning both opponents and fans with his quickness, agility, and steady hands. In just a few seasons, Jefferson has already accumulated a long list of achievements, including various Vikings franchise records and selections to the Pro Bowl.
