On Monday June 3, Justin Jefferson and the Minnesota Vikings agreed to a record-breaking contract extension. The deal is worth $140 million over four years and comes with a whopping $110 million guaranteed, including over $88 million at signing. It makes Jefferson the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history — which, of course, means he's now the highest-paid wideout among his current counterparts.
Jefferson has been the consensus best receiver in the league for the last two or three years, depending on who you ask. He only suited up in 10 games in 2023 due to injury but still managed a 1,000-yard season, recording 68 catches for 1,074 yards and five touchdowns. He won Offensive Player of the Year in 2022, putting up a league-leading 128 catches for 1,809 yards and eight touchdowns.
Overall, in four years, Jefferson has caught 392 passes for 5,899 yards and 30 touchdowns. In that span he's earned three All-Pro nominations and three Pro Bowl nods.
