NFL Rumors: Justin Jefferson, Vikings Could Announce New Contract 'Very Soon'

A lucrative long-term deal between the Minnesota Vikings and superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson is inevitable, and it looks like that may be announced "very soon."

Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported the latest news:

"Two weeks ago, when I was in Minnesota, I asked Justin Jefferson about the status of his deal. He had no updates for me, saying he, 'doesn't like to discuss his business.' Fair. However, he did say it with a huge smile, probably because he knows this team has been motivated to get it done.

"Jefferson has practiced all of training camp, trusting the team will give him a contract that could make him the highest-paid non-QB player in the league.
