T.J. Hockenson reportedly wants a record deal.
According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the tight end and the Minnesota Vikings are "far apart" in their discussions about an extension as he enters what will be the final year of his current contract.
"Hockenson wants to reset the market with a historic contract extension for tight ends," Russini wrote. "He has been limited at practice because of an ear infection and back soreness."
The two-time Pro Bowler is set to make $9.4 million in base salary in 2023, which is well below the highest-paid players at his position.
