Could offering Justin Jefferson get Vikings to No. 2? - NBC Sports
Last summer, I said that, if the Vikings don’t sign him to a long-term deal before the start of the 2023 regular season, he’ll potentially be in play for a trade that would position the Vikings to draft a player who could become their first franchise quarterback since Fran Tarkenton.
Two days until the draft, a Jefferson trade remains possible — because the Vikings still haven’t signed Jefferson to a new deal.
As explained over the weekend and on Tuesday’s PFT Live, it would be easy (but not cheap) to sign Jefferson to a long-term deal. G.M. Kwesi Adofo-Mensah has already said Jefferson should be paid like a top non-quarterback. That’s currently $34 million per year in new money.
