Adam Schefter of ESPN reported the contract is for five seasons. Diggs will be under contract through the 2023 season. Schefter later reported the deal will be signed Tuesday.

According to Ben Goessling of the Star Tribune, Diggs’ contract is expected to be roughly $14 million per season.

Diggs, 24, was a fifth-round selection in the 2015 NFL Draft. He caught 64 passes for 849 yards with 8 touchdowns last season. In his three-year career he has 200 receptions for 2,472 yards and 15 touchdowns in 40 games.

No catch was more memorable than his being on the receiving end of the “Minneapolis Miracle,” a 61-yard walk-off touchdown that propelled the Vikings into the NFC Championship Game last January.
