Vikings' T.J. Hockenson Makes Historic Tight End Deal

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson is set to sign a historic four-year, $68.5 million contract extension, making him the highest-paid tight end in NFL history. The deal includes an average annual value of $17.125 million and $42.5 million guaranteed. Hockenson quickly became a key target for quarterback Kirk Cousins after being traded from the Detroit Lions, and his performance last season solidified his importance to the Vikings' offense. With Hockenson's contract settled, the team now turns its attention to negotiating a contract extension for wide receiver Justin Jefferson.
