A trio of Vikings are putting their best foot forward for an extension. And, no, we’re not including Justin Jefferson. Leaving him unsigned — especially given the voluminous amount that was said about the topic — remains arguably the most concerning part of Minnesota’s current outlook.
Plus, I’ll avoid the temptation to swing around to Kirk Cousins, though the 35-year-old QB is playing like he belongs in Minnesota’s future plans. Apart from the Week 4 outing (ironically, a win), Cousins has been having a strong season within the Kevin O’Connell offense. The veteran quarterback may be the best option for Jefferson in 2024 and beyond.
