Justin Jefferson is so good that, as the most expensive player of the Minnesota Vikings, he still made the cut for the “All Salary Cap Team” of the NFL.
NFL.com debuted with his “All Salary Cap Team” for 2025 – a selection of the best players in the competition – and one Viking got the nod. Strangely enough, it is not who you would think.
Yes, that team is apparently one thing, and yes, Jefferson has made the cut.
He is the only Viking who has received a tendon of All-Salary-Cap, but he is only enough to turn heads.
The Budgette Team draws up Justin Jefferson
The phenomaker of the Vikings is usually not known for contractual value, necessarily.
Justin Jefferson is somehow named after “All Salary Cap Team”
Six recipients earned nomination in the NFL.com budget team, including Jefferson, especially, together with Puka Nacua and Ladd McConkey, Nico Collins, Khalil Shakir and Kavontae Turpin,
Blair wrote About the sixth: “The chiefs have spent the last few seasons to train the right mix of receivers for Patrick Mahomes to throw at, but I didn’t have that problem. Like Saquon Barkley above, Justin Jefferson is one of the top talents in his position, a wonderful CAMMES whose2 with mahomes. WRS, just below Ceedee Lamb and just above Jakobi Meyers.
“As a former Pick of the Fifth Round on the way to the year 3, the hit of Puka Nacua is so low ($ 1.1 million) and his presence on the field is so impactful (his 1,157 career recruitment after the fourth highest in the NFL in the last two seasons in 2024 in the last two seasons in the last two 244444444444 NFL (801), by NGS.
The secret for the recording of Jefferson is his CAP number of 2025: $ 15.1 million. Otherwise he earns $ 35 million annually. So that was Blair’s hack.
Blair voegde eraan toe: “Khalil Shakir kreeg een verlenging na het opkomen als het topdoel van Josh Allen in 2024; zijn cap-cijfer verdubbelt in 2026 en springt naar dubbele cijfers in elk jaar daarna. Maar dat is niet mijn probleem. Voor nu, zijn minuscule 2025 hit in staat om een luxe keuze te maken in de extreme in het extreme in het extreme in de extreme in het Extreme in the extreme in the extreme in the extreme in the extreme in the extreme in the WR5, where I enable $ 8.6 million, WHO Ranks Ninte in the past two years.
“Kavontae Turpin is here as the Premium Kick recovery of the NFL, with the highest average per return (33.5 Yards) managed a player since Jim Duncan 35.4 in 1970.” “
Although the “team” is a bit strange in the first place, Jefferson, with his $ 15 million 2025 CAP number, is logical.
A strange choice
Jefferson is the second highest paid Wideout of the NFL behind his college teammate, Ja’marr Chase. Chase landed a fleshy extension this season and placed him about $ 5 million per season for his friend.
Therefore, if someone would tell Vikings fans that one purple player would be admitted to the All-Budget Team, Well, Jefferson would not even adorn their radar remotely.
Again, because of Jefferson’s small cap of 2025 hit of $ 15 million, Blair thought it was a way to get it on board.
Jefferson’s impact on the Vikings
Jefferson is the face of the Vikings and has demonstrably owned the position since the beginning of 2021. He is the best player of the team, without any arguments of someone, thriving with various quarterbacks, including Kirk Cousins, Joshua Dobbs, Nick Mullens and Sam Darnold in the past five years.
This season he will try JJ McCarthy for the size, and fans will hope that DUO will click on the melody of a long -awaited super bowl.
Think: JJ to JJ.
Vikings’ actual budget players
Minnesota itself has many ‘bargains’ players men who can formulate an all-budget team as Blair.
Excluding Rookies Because they are inherently affordable, these are value -based players on the page:
- Blake CashmanLB ($ 7.5 million)
- Theo JacksonS ($ 3m)
- Josh MetellusS ($ 4 million)
- Ryan KellyC ($ 9 million)
- Isaiah RodgersCB ($ 5.5 million)
Rodgers and Jackson in particular will become excellent values when they flourish in the roles of starters.
Patrick Mahomes, Bo Nix at QB
Blair was also responsible for the Quarterback place, where Patrick Mahomes and nominated Bo Nix For his budget team.
He explained: “I could load all the star power that I wanted elsewhere on the field, but this is the position that the success of my selection will determine. And while I admire the real Savvy of Teams that had to play the right supporting cast around a wisely priced Rookie or Capable veteran, I didn’t have to play those games in the realme of Make-Believe.”
“With all $ 279.2 million of the CAP at the moment I was able to take everyone with me at the moment. In fact, I was tempted to build around Lamar Jackson’s $ 43.5 million Cap -hit, just to play my theory that it is possible to dedicate mass resources to a generation talent and still a winning team.”
Mahomes is still considered the best player in sport and Nix showed flashes of promise as Rookie in 2024.
Blair continued: “I just couldn’t justify that I would take over Jackson in a start-of-Fratch situation, especially when Patrick Mahomes is also a generation talent with a cap-on-hit the position that he, a valuable choice, is a valuable games if necessary, so many teams Million.”
“For me, the use of one of my four First-round slots on Bo Nix is par excellence if it means that this super team is damaged against bad luck with Mahomes.”
The regular NFL season starts in 58 days.
