We have football this week and there are 4 contract extensions on the table for players that are generational talents.
Joe Burrow, Nick Bosa, Chris Jones and Justin Jefferson.
These are all future Hall-of-Famers that could respectively sign record deals.

How do we know anything is on the table for JJ?

Don't know who this Dianna person is but sounds like an internet blogger trying to get a scoop and clicks.  Think Kwesi is going to keep any contract negotiations under wraps until it's signed.

Burrows is good, but generational????

JJ's camp is going to slow walk this extension for as long as they can. They know that the Vikes are looking to move on from Kirko & they are going to want to know what that plan looks like post Kirko. No matter how great of a WR you are, your production is entirely dependent on your QB.

She's a senior writer for the Athletic. I've seen posts of hers before where it looks like she gets some concrete insider information, for whatever that's worth. With that being said it's probably not a stretch to say the team has a contract on the table for JJ.

There was a report that the Vikings had an offer on the table.

Getting a contract done before the start of the season feels like a logical goal for both sides.

Sooner the better. Just get it done.

I can see the news being timed to be released just before the first game of the season. Revving up the fans, JJ, and the team.
