Statistically, Lamb is right behind, if not ahead of Jefferson. While Lamb might not see $35M, it’s probably not going to be far off. The big question for me is, will it be in Dallas?

battle2heaven Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 11 minutes ago, SteelKing728 said: Any chance Chase or Lamb get more dough than Jefferson at this point? Chase, maybe, just because he's in the draft class after Jefferson and he can wait another year. Lamb, no shot. Jefferson's deal caps the APY for Lamb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcticNorseman Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Congrats to one Justin Jefferson!💯 I like the deal for his production. I find it interesting it runs through McCarthy's rookie deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very last paragraph of this article. https://www.vikings.com/news/jj-mccarthy-minnesota-connects-justin-jefferson right, unless the author misspelled it. lol isn't his twitter handle, JJets?

VikeManDan Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I believe he was quoting a direct text message. His twitter handle is JJettas2 but it does show as JJets. Either way if people here are going to refer to him and McCarthy as JJ context is going to matter lol. JJ9, JJ18, JJMcC, JJets, Jets there are no shortages of options. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a straight-forward deal. deal created 10M+ in cap space in 2024. deal has a 30m option bonus in 2025, if they make it a roster bonus, cap hit will be something like 38m, if they make it a signing bonus, cap hit will be something like 15m. So there will be flexibility to still be big players in free agency next off season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
