Justin Jefferson, Troy Dye agree to terms on Vikings rookie contracts

The Vikings on Wednesday began what is expected to be a flurry of rookie agreements and signings this week with their first draft pick, receiver Justin Jefferson.

Jefferson, the 21-year-old former LSU star receiver, became the second of the Vikings' 15 draft picks to agree to his rookie deal, according to ESPN's Dan Graziano.

He'll get a $7.1 million signing bonus on a fully guaranteed four-year, $13.1 million deal. The 22nd-overall pick's contract value, like all rookies, was slotted based on draft position. Seventh-round quarterback Nate Stanley agreed to terms earlier this month.

Jefferson is expected to compete for the No. 2 receiver job behind Adam Thielen, but full practices with pads won't happen until testing and an 18-day acclimation period is complete.

The Vikings also agreed to terms with a third draft pick Wednesday in fourth-round linebacker Troy Dye, according to a league source. Dye, the 132nd-overall pick, agreed to a contract expected to have a roughly $650,000 signing bonus on a four-year deal worth about $4 million. The Vikings need 12 more agreements to get the draft class under contract, with signings expected soon upon the completion of physicals.

At least a few Vikings rookies, including second-round tackle Ezra Cleveland, are expecting to wrap up contracts Thursday when reporting for camp and taking an initial coronavirus test, according to league sources.
