Justin Jefferson Not At OTAs
1 year agoMinnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is absent from voluntary organized team activities this week, according to reports. Head coach Kevin O'Connell discussed Jefferson's absence with reporters, stating that he has been speaking with the star receiver regularly and that he hopes to see Jefferson "as soon as possible." The Vikings have a mandatory minicamp on June 13 and 14. While Jefferson skipping OTAs is worth noting, his absence at the mid-June mandatory minicamp would be a much bigger deal. Jefferson is likely angling for a contract extension, as he will play the 2023 season on the fourth year of his rookie contract. As one of the top wideouts in the league, Jefferson should become one of the highest-paid receivers in the NFL when he does finally ink an extension.
