When looking at Stefon Diggs’ production during his NFL career so far and how much he is due to make in 2018 ($1.9 million), the Minnesota Vikings are certainly getting a bargain when it comes to their 24-year-old wide receiver.
But to keep Diggs around past the upcoming season, the Vikings will likely have to shell out a lot more money.
In the past few weeks, a number of young wide receivers have signed new deals that will pay them a nice chunk of change over the next couple of years.
Mike Evans, Jarvis Landry, Allen Robinson, and Sammy Watkins are all under the age of 26 and each agreed to new contracts this offseason that will pay them an average salary of at least $14 million per year.
