Justin Jefferson gets the bag, the highest paid non-quarterback in the NFL, and he absolutely

deserved it.

Here to help us break it all down is locked on Vikings host Luke Braun, Luke, the national

media was looking at this as a potential disaster situation for the

Minnesota Vikings that they would never get the deal done with Justin Jefferson, but you

were on the cooler, calmer side of it, pretty confident that it was going to get done,

but were the numbers at all surprising for you, the $35 million a year for the top wide up?

See, this is why you listen to local people instead of just letting whatever hot take artist

who hasn't looked into the situation at all.

No, the local beat was all over this the whole time.

There was never any indication that the Vikings were even jopping or even like considering

it.

They basically hung up the phone anytime they got a phone call.

They got plenty of phone calls.

Of course they did.

But they didn't entertain them.

And so it was pretty much done for a while.

And it seems like they were sort of the reason it took longer than that to announce is

because they were just waiting for a good week where nothing else was going on.

So they waited until June,

they just wanted to make sure they got it done before mandatory mini camp.

So there wasn't any tension there.
