Discussions of a Justin Jefferson contract extension have been happening among the fanbase and media over the last few months. Fuel got added to the fire this morning by KFAN’s Mark Rosen.
According to multiple reports, Rosen said at the end of the Power Trip Morning Show to expect news on Jefferson in the next 48 hours.
“Keep your eye on what’s going on with Justin Jefferson the next 48 hours”
Once Thursday, June 1st hits, moving on from Dalvin Cook becomes easier and freeing up that cap space would undoubtedly make things easier for the Vikings to sign Jefferson to an extension. How that will look is something that will help us determine how general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah will handle extensions of his top players. Outside of the one-year extension given to Kirk Cousins, this is a situation that hasn’t been breached before.
Strap in Vikings fans, things are about to get interesting.
