The Minnesota Vikings have officially locked in their franchise cornerstone. Star wide receiver Justin Jefferson has signed a massive four-year, $140 million contract extension, making NFL history as the highest-paid non-quarterback ever.
The deal includes $110 million in guaranteed money and a $36.9 million signing bonus, the largest ever for a wide receiver. At $35 million per year, Jefferson sets a new standard for elite skill-position players.
Jefferson’s impact since entering the league in 2020 has been nothing short of spectacular. In just four seasons, he has already surpassed 6,000 receiving yards, becoming the fastest player in NFL history to reach that milestone. His 2022 season was particularly dominant—he led the league in both receptions and receiving yards, earning Offensive Player of the Year honors.
This extension sends a clear message: the Vikings are building their future around Jefferson. With veteran QB Sam Darnold and rookie J.J. McCarthy vying for the starting job in 2025, having a superstar like Jefferson gives the offense stability and a go-to target regardless of who’s under center.
Jefferson shared his excitement on social media, writing, “This is the deal I’ve been dreaming of since I was a kid. Minnesota, I’m here to stay.”
The extension runs through the 2028 season and ensures that one of the NFL’s brightest stars remains in purple and gold. For Vikings fans, it’s a moment of celebration. For the rest of the league, it’s a wake-up call—Justin Jefferson isn’t going anywhere, and he’s just getting started.
