the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions them don’t have a coach

Report news: Minnesota Vikings ‘More Likely to Keep 11 and 23 at This Point’ But Still Exploring Options…..

What Amon-Ra St. Brown’s Contract Extension with the Detroit Lions Means for Justin Jefferson, a wide receiver with the Minnesota Vikings.

Amon-Ra St. Brown, a wide receiver with the Detroit Lions, and the team reached an agreement to extend his deal for $120 million over four years earlier today. In addition, the contract guarantees a record $77 million for wide receivers. Cooper Kupp, a talented wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams, set the previous record with $75 million.

Undoubtedly, St. Brown, a former fourth-round selection in the 2021 NFL Draft, is deserving of the substantial salary. Unlike his peers Ja’Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson, St. Brown did not have a fifth-year option exercised by the Lions because he was not selected in the first round. While Jefferson was selected a year earlier, Chase was selected in the same draft year as St. Brown.

Put another way, before agreeing to a deal with Detroit, St. Brown was about to reach the last year of his rookie contract. If the two sides hadn’t reached an agreement before the upcoming offseason, he might have been able to go via free agency (the Lions would have franchise-tagged him if it came to that).

What Impact Does Amon-Ra St. Brown’s Contract with the Detroit Lions Have on Justin Jefferson and the Minnesota Vikings?

The Cincinnati Bengals announced today that they had picked up Ja’Marr Chase’s fifth-year option. Similar to St. Brown, he is about to begin his fourth season in the NFL and has committed to Cincinnati for the next two seasons at minimum.
