Bleacher Report says Christian Darrisaw extension is most important for Vikings
The Justin Jefferson extension was a major hurdle for the Vikings franchise, now it is time to focus on the next one for another franchise pillar. It is one thing to draft great players if you are a front office, it is another to be able to retain them.
For Christian Darrisaw, all signs point to him not only deserving of an extension but also making it a priority to get one done.
In a recent article for Bleacher Report, Ryan Fowler discussed which team's most important player should be extended next. Christian Darrisaw was the obvious answer, and he agreed. What, again, is the interesting discussion around Darrisaw is the money for his extension.
"Darrisaw's likely average per year will land near $28 million. But, with Penei Sewell's recent deal and the expected extension to come with Tristan Wirfs (Tampa Bay), Minnesota would present themselves with leverage monetarily if they are able to get a deal done sooner rather than later."
That Tristan Wirfs detail is most important because the Vikings did this to the Cowboys and 49ers. They extended Justin Jefferson before they could extend Brandon Aiyuk and CeeDee Lamb. Had they extended their players before Jefferson, who knows what the situation would've turned into.
Thankfully, the Darrisaw deal seems like a foregone conclusion, like Jefferson, but that doesn't change the fact the Vikings are better to get a deal done as soon as possible.
