Until 2020

So next year is probably when he gets re-upped.

Gotta feel good as a Vikings fan - Laquan Treadwell hasn't developed, but Diggs and Thielen both turned into fine WRs.

Thielen signed his 4 year/$19.2 million deal coming off a 967/5 season in 2016 and turned around to break out further in 2017 with a 1,276/4 season so the Vikings certainly got lucky that they signed him when they did. That contract looks like a bargain right now but the Vikes may show a sign of good faith if he continues his success.

As for Treadwell, he's been the talk of the off-season, I guess. Maybe he's finally turning a corner.

Thielen and Tyron Smith have two of the most non-rookie team friendly deals in the NFL...

"Can You Dig It Suckaaa" was a game I played with my buddies in grade school. It was H-O-R-S-E, but with the word S-U-C-K-A.

The rules? Let's say it's my turn. I smash my knuckles together as hard as I can. The next person can take the letter or attempt to "dig it" and not be a "sucka."

We were so dumb.

 

Oh, and this is a nice move for the Vikings. Diggs is a beast.

How does he rank in those categories pre 2017?
