swede700 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 (edited) Quote One agent who has negotiated top-of-the-market contracts said they think $34 million a year is in the ballpark for Jefferson, who has eclipsed 1,000 yards receiving in all four seasons as a pro (including 2023, when he only played in 10 games). Another agent who has negotiated multiple high-end receiver contracts said they believe $35 million to $36 million a year is in play if Jefferson signs a five-year extension. One of the agents also mentioned the idea of “cash flow,” which refers to the amount of cash paid throughout the duration of the contract. Hill’s average annual value is $30 million, for example, but his deal is backloaded to raise that overall number, whereas Brown’s average annual value is $32 million, and his deal is mostly consistent throughout. That agent thinks Jefferson’s contract would have to exceed Brown’s cash flow and provided a guess at what that could look like: PLAYER YEAR 1 YEAR 2 YEAR 3 A.J. Brown $33M $32M $31M Justin Jefferson $35M $35M $34M Guarantees are an entirely different beast and often can be misleading, one of the agents said. Bosa received $88 million fully guaranteed at signing, which was easily the most of any non-quarterback, and one of the agents suggested Jefferson’s figure could hover near $65 million. https://theathletic.com/5477878/2024/05/08/justin-jefferson-contract-extension-vikings/?source=emp_shared_article Edited May 8 by swede700 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jefferson wrote McCarthy right away after he was drafted and said he was called Jets, so there wouldn't be any misunderstanding between the two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 Kevin O'Connell: ”Justin knows the love and admiration that I have for him, and he knows he's such a big part of what we do around here. That's on the field, that's off the field, he brings such a great energy to our building every single day.” "I know everything's going to get worked out there."

CriminalMind Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 (edited) I think Jets is looking for; 2-yr extension $34M per year No trade clause No tag clause. Edited May 19 by CriminalMind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think the Vikings are looking for in their next contract with Jefferson? I would think it would be quite a bit different than that on contract length, especially with a no tag clause. The Vikings would gain no years of control over Jefferson's contract if they extended him two years and gave him a no tag clause since they already have those two years of control via the tag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I think a 4 year extension is what the team probably wants. I don't have any insider knowledge though just a guess! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was guessing, the team wants a 5-year extension. They'll have to meet in the middle somewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep correct. I just think that’s what’s holding up the deal. Not the money, it’s structure (years and clauses). Vikings wouldn’t get much in this kind of deal other then knowing that Jets is actually showing up for two years (and not holding out) or torpedoing his value with a trade request Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SodeeWater_Cheezburger Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I heard from an anonymous source that they are working on some wording in the No-Trade Clause saying that if he were to be traded, it would have to be to the Bears. Hopefully, the Vikings will get that into the contract for him to keep him happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 A two year deal doesn’t make much sense from either side. A two year deal, even fully guaranteed at $34M per year, would lose Jefferson a lot of money. His signing bonus on a long term deal will likely be pushing the totality of that contract. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted May 22 Author Share Posted May 22 Per @TomPelissero He “anticipates” that star Vikings WR Justin Jefferson WILL be in attendance for mandatory minicamp taking place June 4-6 He also noted that Jefferson is unlikely to attend any voluntary OTA practices.
