Adam been dinged up over the past few years. Turning 32 in 2022. Beginning of the end?

I think that's probably the case and his salary jumps way up to 12, 13, and 14 million in base salary the next three seasons. It's going to be interesting to see how the Vikings handle him moving forward. Definitely a fan favorite who's been incredibly productive, but has been dinged up recently.

Hes still a difference maker when healthy. I would pay him another year for sure but wokld not try to extend or restructure

My thoughts too. Play it year by year because when healthy he's still lethal in the redzone.

10, 15, and 13 games in the last 3 seasons. With the emergence of KJ, the cap situation, might be approaching time for a redo.

Total cap hit almost $17 million next year.
