This isn't exactly true, if we get into the details.
The Vikings caught a bit of a stray on Thursday from a random source: Dallas Cowboys executive VP Stephen Jones.
Speaking to reporters about his team's ongoing contract discussions with CeeDee Lamb, Micah Parsons, and Dak Prescott, Jones used the Vikings as an example of a team that could afford to give Justin Jefferson a huge new deal because they don't have anyone else to pay. "You look at a guy like Jefferson, they're not paying a quarterback, they're not paying anybody on their roster at this point," Jones said. "So it's a lot easier for them to stretch a little more. We're just trying to work through, reasonably, with CeeDee, reasonably with Dak, what we can do to make it work from an economic standpoint.
Oh, and the fact that the Vikings signed Jefferson to a four-year, $140 million extension earlier this summer didn't stop them from signing Christian Darrisaw toearlier this week. Yes, the context of J.J. McCarthy's rookie contract helps make those deals work, but to say the Vikings "aren't paying anyone on their roster" is untrue.
It'll be fascinating to see if the Cowboys decide to pay all three of Prescott, Lamb, and Parsons, or if they eventually move one from one of those stars. Drafting great players and then having to pay them top-of-the-line money is a good problem to have in the NFL.
