EAGAN, Minn. -- The weirdest thing that happened on the way to Justin Jefferson's four-year, $140 million contract extension ($110 million guaranteed) with the Minnesota Vikings that he agreed to Monday: It took more than a year to negotiate and was complicated, so there emerged an absurd level of public discussion on the wisdom of signing him at all.
Jefferson isn't a quarterback but wants quarterback money, as one popular refrain went.
There was much more.
He took two months to return from a hamstring injury last season, during which the Vikings recorded a much better record without him (5-2) than with him (2-8).
