The news both rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy and Vikings fans have been waiting to hear all offseason finally came across the wire last week: Justin Jefferson isn't going anywhere. After an offseason full of speculation, the three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver signed a four-year, $140 million extension that will keep Jefferson in purple and gold for years to come.
There has been a lot of conversation about this deal since it was announced. Yes, $35 million per year is a lot of money, but there also has been chatter about what it means for the league as a whole.
