Report: Stefon Diggs, Vikings agree to five-year extension
Stefon Diggs is one of the most dynamic young playmakers in the NFL, and the Minnesota Vikings plan to keep the star wide receiver around for quite some time.
According to multiple reports, Diggs and the Vikings have agreed to a five-year contract extension that will keep him with the team through the 2023 season.
The #Vikings are closing in on a contract extension with receiver Stefon Diggs, sources tell @mikegarafolo and me. He'll get to keep trying to produce his miracles in Minneapolis. Huge.

Diggs, 24, caught 64 passes for 849 yards and eight touchdowns last season. He also made the miracle play (watch it here) that resulted in the Vikings defeating the New Orleans Saints in the divisional round of the playoffs.
With Kirk Cousins under contract for three more seasons and weapons like Diggs and Adam Thielen to throw to, the Vikings should be a force offensively.
