Former NFL cornerback Terrell Buckley, the mentor of Xavier Rhodes, believes there’s a “high probability” the Vikings cornerback signs a long-term extension with Minnesota this week.
“He is trying to get a couple of things squared away (with the contract),’’ Buckley tells Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer-Press. “He wants to be there. He loves the (Vikings) organization, but obviously it’s a business.
“He’s got to make sure it makes sense to him financially. But he’s excited about it. He loves Minnesota. He loves the head coach (Mike Zimmer).
