ORLANDO, Fla. -- As they navigate a franchise-altering quarterback transition, the Minnesota Vikings have been careful to keep the most important player on their roster fully informed.
Speaking Monday at the NFL's annual meeting, Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell said he has had regular check-ins with star wide receiver Justin Jefferson this offseason and found him "excited" about the potential of contributing to the mentorship of a young quarterback. More importantly, O'Connell said he does not believe that Jefferson needs to know the outcome of the team's plans before signing a contract extension that the sides have been negotiating for more than a year.
