The calendar indicates it’s the time of year for the Minnesota Vikings front office to enter contraction extension talks. The franchise notoriously avoids in-season extension talks, so between now and the commencement of the 2021 season is prime territory for veterans to receive extensions.
Last season, the oft-mentioned contract belonged to Dalvin Cook, who re-upped with the team just as the 2020 season began. He inked for five years and $63 million after a summer-long will-they-or-won’t-they for Vikings management. In the end, Cook was secured long-term, locking his skillset into the Vikings plans through the end of 2025 (or five full seasons from now).
