Stefon Diggs agrees to five-year, $72 million deal with Vikings

It’s become something of a training camp tradition that the Vikings try to lock up one of their core players with a contract extension. They continued the tradition Tuesday morning.

The team has signed wide receiver Stefon Diggs to a five-year contract extension on Tuesday, retaining another one of its core players that was scheduled to hit free agency in March. Diggs’ deal is expected to be worth around $14 million a season, according to an NFL source, which would put his deal in line with recent contracts the Green Bay Packers gave Davante Adams and the Chicago Bears gave Allen Robinson.
