T.J. Hockenson and the Minnesota Vikings have agreed to a four-year, $68.5 million contract extension.

The $17.125 million annual average and $42 .5 million guarantee are the highest for a tight end in NFL history.

The Vikings acquired Hockenson from the Detroit Lions at last season's trade deadline. After joining the Vikings, Hockenson caught 60 balls for 519 yards and three touchdowns.
