Insider reveals what Justin Jefferson’s potential contract could cost the Vikings

Following a disheartening conclusion to the 2023 NFL season, during which the Minnesota Vikings wrapped up with a 7-

10 record and failed to secure a spot in the NFL playoffs, the team faces some significant decisions heading into the

offseason. It’s anticipated that the roster could undergo substantial changes for the upcoming season.

One area expected to undergo notable transformation is the quarterback

position. There’s a prevailing belief that the team will opt to part ways with veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins in NFL

free agency. Such a move would mark a significant shift for the team as they chart their course for the future.

With Cousins likely departing the team this offseason, the Vikings may have missed an opportunity to secure

superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson at a more favorable rate, considering recent developments on Friday.

benchmark for his position in contract negotiations, especially with the salary cap increasing to $255.4 million.

According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, Jefferson could aim to surpass the

salary of Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill and become the highest-paid receiver in the NFL.

Florio pondered, “Does he aspire to become the highest-paid receiver in the

NFL, surpassing the $30 million per year that the Dolphins are allocating to receiver Tyreek Hill?”

Despite Jefferson experiencing a less productive season by his usual

standards, limited to only 10 games due to injury, he continues to be widely

recognized as the top wide receiver in today’s game, with perhaps only Hill

being considered in the same league or vying for the same recognition.

Nevertheless, the Vikings will endeavor to exhaust all efforts to compensate Jefferson adequately and maintain his

satisfaction, as they simultaneously seek a quarterback who will be tasked with

targeting him for passes in Minnesota’s foreseeable future.
