The wide-receiver market again was reset Monday when the Minnesota Vikings reportedly agreed to a four-year, $140 million contract extension for All-Pro Justin Jefferson.
In addition to the eye-popping $35 million average annual salary, the deal includes a whopping $110 million in guarantees.
Jefferson is the fourth wide receiver to sign a contract averaging at least $30 million per season and he’s the third wideout to agree to such a deal during this offseason alone.
His $110 million in guarantees are $26 million more than runner-up A.J. Brown of the Philadelphia Eagles. Even Jefferson’s fully guaranteed total of $88.
