Which player will be next to get an extension from the Minnesota Vikings?
By Adam Patrick
Stefon Diggs – WR
Diggs has been a pleasant surprise ever since he landed with the Vikings. He flashed his potential as a rookie during Minnesota’s preseason in 2015 and eventually got his first chance to play that year during the Vikings’ Week 4 matchup with the Denver Broncos.
All Diggs ended up doing was finish with more total catches and receiving yards in his first four career NFL games than any other player in Minnesota team history.
The young pass-catcher has not slowed down either. No receiver in their first 40 games with the Vikings has ever caught as many passes as Diggs (200). Not Randy Moss, not Percy Harvin, not Sidney Rice, and not Sammy White.

Minnesota has not had a ton of good luck when it comes to finding above average receivers recently. They already have Adam Thielen signed through 2020 and it may be a good idea for the Vikings to lock down Diggs for a few more years before his asking price gets too high.
