The discourse about Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson has taken a small detour. After speculation that he might miss mandatory minicamp amid talks of a new contract, Jefferson reported on Tuesday afternoon.

After reports came out that outside linebacker Danielle Hunter would be missing mandatory minicamp, there were talks about Jefferson potentially doing the same. The thought process was the same, as Jefferson is about to set records for the contract he is about to receive.
What we hadn’t seen is Jefferson being agitated about his contract situation in any way. General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah called the contract a “Champagne problem” back in January and the deal is certainly to get done in time.
This is good news for the Vikings as they look to have a great minicamp before a near six week break prior to training camp in July.
