Justin Jefferson Rumors: Vikings Contract to Make WR the Highest-Paid Non-QB in NFL

Justin Jefferson is entering the final season of his contract, but the Minnesota Vikings are reportedly preparing to offer him a record-setting contract.

"When this deal gets done, and I think it will eventually get done, it is expected to make Justin Jefferson the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history," ESPN's Adam Schefter said on Wednesday's SportsCenter.

"So it will be a landmark type of a deal, and I think some of the other wide receivers are waiting to see where the Justin Jefferson comes in before they do a deal because they know the size and scope of this deal that the two sides have been working on throughout the course of the offseason.
