I had to yell at some Broncos fans in my group chat after they said it was an overpay. Did you know Denver has not had a 1,000 yard receiver for as long as Justin Jefferson has been in the league? Well now you do.

@baddadjoke2197 22 күн бұрын

Yes. Speaking of worth the money, in case anyone at Locked On needs to hear this... so are Arif and Braun.

@punisher5598 22 күн бұрын

Don’t worry Luke, I got this. Justin Jefferson is worth the money because he is the best receiver in the league that but up almost 400 yards against the lions despite having back up QBs.

Can we talk about how Arif knew off the top of his head how many players were under contract past 2027?

@wilsonlysford5268 22 күн бұрын

JJ isn’t just a receiver, he’s THE receiver. Arguments about not paying receivers isn’t relevant when talking about the elite of elite players.

100%. We'll see how much he made Cousins, and so will Darnold.

Better win while the QB is on a rookie contract.... As soon as we have to pay the premium at QB, the JJ contract will sink us

@@brianwesterlund8024 That is at least 4 years into the future and very speculative. We have no idea what the salary cap or market will look like then. The Jefferson deal is likely to be redone or restructured by or before then, so that is basically worrying about things that will never happen. Even the worst case scenario where Jettas 2028 contract is paid out in full, it still only represents about 13% of the estimated salary cap, which is not prohibitive and proportionately less than Tyreek Hill when he coexisted with Mahomes. That opinion just seems to be yearning for negativity.

Love Arif, but why are we bringing in a Seahawks fan to talk about Justin Jefferson?

Not worth it you double him it is done SBs are not won by paying WRs big money

i see what you're getting at but idk if it's true. We have plenty of people saying "holy overpay" right off the bat, depending on the deal

@richarddean3154 22 күн бұрын

The Vikings are making the same mistake that many other teams have made - overpaying a wide receiver. The Dolphins with Waddle and Hill; the Raiders with Adams; the Bills with Diggs; the Seahawks with Metcalf; the Commanders with McLaurin; the list goes on and on. Just when Kwesi was starting to live up to his Ivy League education - he overpays for 7 receptions in a playoff game.

@darrensmith9035 22 күн бұрын

He paid good money for a blue chip asset that makes the whole team better and will be an integral piece to the development of his brand new QB prospect. You cannot just find other guys who can do what Jefferson does on the field and also have such a positive impact on team culture.

Not to be contrary, but Scary Terry is very extraordinary.

@@darrensmith9035 What other receivers who are "blue chip assets" and "make the whole team better" can I compare Jefferson to?

@darrensmith9035 21 күн бұрын

@@richarddean3154 Jerry Rice, Larry Fitzgerald, Julio Jones, Marvin Harrison, Michael Irvin? The NFL didn't start last year. All of those guys were highly paid and integral components to their teams' super bowl runs. You comparing JJ to McLaurin, Metcalf, Waddle and Diggs is laughable. He isn't just a good receiver. He is on track to be an all time great. You don't let those guys walk away.

@@darrensmith9035 The receivers I listed have comparable CONTRACTS, wherein the team overpaid for what they received from the player. Out of the players you listed, only Fitzgerald and Jones are from the modern era of football, one wherein the running game is a tertiary component and teams generally pass to win. Interestingly, neither of those players won a Super Bowl and Jones' costs far outweighed his gains, when viewed in championships and Jefferson's performance in his single playoff game was average at best - seven receptions and 47 yards against the GIANTS for $140 million? Championships are my primary goal for the Vikings. Receivers are not as valuable as you make them out to be when championships are the primary aim. You may want to win a bunch of regular season games - then this contract supports your goal - but not necessarily the championship goal.
