NFL Free Agency has been a tornado inside of a volcano wrapped in an atom bomb the past 36 hours.

New players are everywhere, but there’s only been one clear winner…Justin Jefferson.

Since we’re still in the hilariously named “legal tampering” period, not everything is official. What is official can be found here.

What’s not official, AKA how much the Vikings are CRUSHING this offseason, is outlined below.

• Lost Kirk Cousins and replaced him with Sam Darnold. Yes, that Sam Darnold.

• Cut a 25 year old Alex Mattison to replace him with a 29 year old Aaron Jones. A 29 year old Aaron Jones with 1,449 career touches compared to Mattison’s 684.

• Re-signed the below STUDS:
  • Theo Jackson: special teams extraordinaire
  • Nick Muse: a seventh round TE
  • Johnny Mundt: another TE who has taken the league by storm, racking up 312 yards and two touchdowns (in the past two seasons combined)
  • David Quessenberry & Blake Brandel: two stalwarts of the Vikings offensive line who combined for a dominating nine starts last season

Safe to say Justin Jefferson has to be feeling *reallly, really* good about the direction of the organization. There is no doubt in my, and surely Vikings fans everywhere, minds that he’ll be ready to sign a mega extension to be in Minnesota for the remainder of his career upon his free agency next year.
