Justin Jefferson desires to obtain “what I deserve” and “break the bank.”
“I feel like eventually the Vikings will do what they need to do to have me in the building.”
Justin Jefferson desires to remain a Viking and spends a lot of money doing so.
In an interview with Adam Schein on Sirius XM from Radio Row in Las Vegas, Jefferson addressed his contract status in the run-up to this Sunday’s Super Bowl.
“My goals are to become wealthy and a part of a company that values me enough to treat me fairly. I have a feeling that the Vikings will eventually take the necessary steps to allow me to enter the building, but right now I’m not really sure. Time will tell,” remarked Jefferson.
“I think I surround myself with the appropriate individuals who can help me compromise and act morally. We performed a terrific job, in my opinion, handling everything and proceeding in accordance with the season and contract requirements throughout the entire process.”

The 24-year-old Jefferson’s contract has one year left on it before he becomes a free agent. It’s widely anticipated that he’ll sign a new deal with Minnesota, maybe one that raises the bar for NFL players who aren’t quarterbacks.
Schein then asked Jefferson what he would do in the event that the Vikings were not the team he ultimately decided to play for.
“Right now, I’m not really all that sure. Without a doubt, I am appreciative of everything Minnesota has done for me. If they hadn’t chosen me, I most certainly wouldn’t be in this predicament,” Jefferson replied. “I would naturally like to stay, as that is where I have called home ever since I entered the league, especially in light of everything that has transpired and everything I have contributed for the company. I just want to play football, but at the end of the day, it is what it is.”
