Vikings agree to terms with Pro Bowl tight end T.J. Hockenson on contract extension
Associated PressEAGAN, Minn. — The Minnesota Vikings made a bold midseason move last year to trade for T.J. Hockenson. “I’m excited to actually play football and go out there and have to not worry about anything else and move forward from everything and go win some games,” Hockenson said after practice. “I don’t think there was ever any sense of quid pro quo or anything like that,” Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said. “It’s truly a good fit for me here,” said Hockenson, who repeatedly used the word “brotherhood” to describe his feelings about playing for the Vikings. “It’s one thing to make money,” he said, “but it’s another thing to be happy with where you are.” With Hockenson locked up for the long term, the Vikings have one more contract situation to resolve with a pending extension for superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson.
