The Minnesota Vikings locked down one star on offense, and now they turn their focus to another with a crucial 2024 season ahead of him. This front office made Justin Jefferson the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. While they will need to make an impressive offer, it will unlikely be a position-altering one.
Of course, the player in question is none other than former first-round pick Christian Darrisaw.
The offensive tackle has proven he is worthy of being one of the top-paid players at his position. However, according to Darren Wolfson, during an appearance on Skor North, there is one major caveat to that becoming a reality.
Wolfson hinted that the team has “reservations about paying that much to a player long-term if they feel that the injury history has become a genuine concern.”
In three full seasons with the Vikings, Darrisaw has yet to play a full season and has played in 41 out of 52 potential games in his career. The former Virginia Tech tackle would put the Vikings in a tough but good position if he were to play a full season in 2024.
Without a full-season, things could get dicey in the Vikings front office.
