T.J. Hockenson, Vikings Agree to New Contract; Reportedly Among NFL's Top-Paid TEs

The Minnesota Vikings and tight end T.J. Hockenson have agreed on a long-term contract extension.

Terms were not immediately disclosed, but NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported the deal will make Hockenson one of the NFL's highest-paid tight ends.

The Vikings acquired Hockenson from the Detroit Lions prior to last year's midseason trade deadline. He was sensational for Minnesota thanks to 60 catches, 519 yards and three touchdowns in 10 regular season games. Hockenson added 10 more receptions for 129 yards in an NFC Wild Card loss to the New York Giants.
