Having JJ has been a lot of fun. Hasn't resulted in a single playoff win yet. And who's to say how the next couple of years go with our broke asses. Somewhere in there we're likely to target a QB in the draft I.E., rookie contract. Hope for lightning in a bottle...but...face the reality of Jefferson wanting to re-up...as some of the top guys have done early as their big $ starts to look smaller. One way or another a big next contract looms. Who knows what his behaviour will be like all through this.
I say take the draft picks. Move up for a QB. Get rid of the dead weight. Make Cousins suit up next year and navigate the lost year...then see you later...
I was watching a Jefferson interview when players were cleaning out their lockers a couple of days back, and during a conversation about a new contract, jefferson said "they don't even have to give me a new deal this year if they don't want to"...which, of course, is true....
let him play out the '23 season and the 5th-year option - that buys us two more seasons to build a team and re-boot the dead cap....
the vikes/jefferson can take out an insurance policy against injury, and he can borrow some money against future earnings if he wants to start living large....
i don't expect many people to agree with me because fans/media/talking heads have been talking about his new deal happening at the end of this season since September, and for it not to happen might blow it all up....
I'd like Jefferson to prove he can't be taken away by defenses so easily before I break the bank to sign him long term. He's great but he isn't dominant enough to get an enormous payday.
