Jordan Addison's contract extension becomes pricier after Zay Flowers' deal
Summary

The Minnesota Vikings face a critical decision regarding wide receiver Jordan Addison after the Baltimore Ravens signed Zay Flowers to a four-year, $140 million contract extension. Flowers' deal includes $108 million guaranteed, paralleling the terms of Justin Jefferson's 2025 extension. Both players were drafted back-to-back in 2023, with Flowers currently holding an edge in total receptions and yardage, while Addison has more touchdown receptions. The Vikings have already picked up Addison’s fifth-year option, indicating a long-term extension may be pursued soon, but Addison's contract could mirror or exceed Flowers' terms.
