Mac Getting Some Love

It makes me wonder if the Vikings are working on an extension for either Alexander or Waynes - but not both.

True, but sometimes that is meant as an implication that a player has been lax or underachieving, then only improves their effort during a contract year. That's not how I view Alexander: I think he had struggles as a rookie in adapting to the NFL, to a complex defensive system, and playing nickel (and maybe a bit of bad attitude because he disliked sliding to round 2), then in his second year still struggled at times but also flashed improvement - but last year, he was arguably our best corner at times. This is a steady ascension, not a player waking up just to earn a second contract.
I don't know how/if they'll be able to keep XR, TW, MA, MH....
X is probably going to have to re-up??
