Justin Jefferson Signs Record-Breaking Contract Extension with the Vikings

Four-Year, $140 Million Deal Makes Him Highest-Paid Wide Receiver in the NFL

Deal Includes $110 Million Guaranteed

The Minnesota Vikings and star wide receiver Justin Jefferson have agreed to a four-year, $140 million contract extension that will make him the highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL, according to NFL Network. The deal includes $110 million guaranteed, setting a new mark for wide receivers in the league. Jefferson has quickly become one of the most dynamic and productive wide receivers in the NFL since being drafted by the Vikings in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. In his first three seasons, he has amassed 3,016 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns. In 2022, he led the NFL in receiving yards (1,809) and was named to his first Pro Bowl and All-Pro team. The Vikings are hopeful that Jefferson's record-setting contract extension will help them contend for a Super Bowl championship. The team has been building a strong young core of players around quarterback Kirk Cousins, and Jefferson is a key part of that core. The contract extension is a major win for both Jefferson and the Vikings. Jefferson is now the highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL, and the Vikings have secured one of the most talented young players in the game for the long term.
