@SleeperBot: Wide receiver Justin Jefferson is in the last year of his contract with the Minnesota Vikings and there has been no successful extension negotiation since the previous season. This situation has been complicated by the loss of quarterback Kirk Cousins, who left for the Atlanta Falcons, leaving the Vikings without a quarterback. Reporter Alex Lewis suggests this has caused some desperation within the team's front office as they know that Jefferson not only demands a high salary but also desires to play in a successful team, which requires having a quality quarterback. Lewis added that while it's still unclear which quarterback Minnesota will target in the next NFL Draft, they are poised to use their two first-round draft picks, acquired from the Houston Texans, to secure a signal-caller.
