“One thing about J.J.—he’s not comfortable with who he is. He just wants to get better.” This is how Vikings RB Dalvin Cook described his teammate and star wide receiver, Justin Jefferson. Since his induction into the big leagues, the football world has seen Jefferson flying high. You must remember how he made headlines in the 2024 season with one of the greatest receiving touchdowns of all time.

And Cook didn’t just stop there: “You see him in practice, man, he’s flying around, running around. That’s important, man—just to see somebody who’s not complacent with their talent. And he’s got a God-given talent. Hard work matches talent, and you’ve got a guy right there.” And as Kevin O’Connell and the Vikings are adjusting important pieces for the upcoming season, JJ dropped a crazy update.

Justin Jefferson hit Instagram with a brand collaboration with a $3.2 billion company. Guess what? It’s not about sports brands or any other typical deals, but a collab with the headphone company Bose. Jefferson dropped the update with diamond-studded headphones—of course, with a football in his hands. The star WR also added a classy caption to the IG post: “Diamond dance @bose.” He took flexing to another level.

But before we dive into Justin’s net worth and earnings, let’s take a quick look at Bose headphones. Amar Bose found the audio equipment company in 1964, per their official page. The company’s yearly turnover exceeds $3.2 billion. Bose’s distinguishing feature is its exceptional level of noise cancellation. Crazy, right? And it would have been surprising if no athlete had collaborated with them, considering how often players listen to music to stay focused.

And in addition to this, you’d be shocked to know that Jefferson’s potential future earnings could reach a staggering $172,865,806, as he has signed a four-year, $140,000,000 deal with the Vikings.

Looks like a huge contract, right? But did you know there’s one former teammate of Justin Jefferson who recently surpassed J.J.’s contract value with another team?

Justin Jefferson’s college teammate surpasses him

We all know Justin Jefferson was from Louisiana State University. He played for the LSU Tigers from 2017 to 2019. But alongside Jefferson, LSU produced another NFL beast who recently crossed Jefferson’s contract value—and he plays for the Cincinnati Bengals. Yeah, you got that right! It’s none other than the 2024 NFL season’s triple crown WR, Ja’Marr Chase.

We all know Ja’Marr Chase has become the highest-paid non-quarterback with his latest four-year, $161,000,000 contract. Compared to Justin Jefferson, Ja’Marr Chase has secured a deal that gives him an average annual salary of $40,250,000, while Justin Jefferson’s average salary is $35,000,000.

Well, either way, the duo has raked in pretty good money. But the real winner here isn’t just Ja’Marr Chase or Justin Jefferson—it’s LSU and the elite skills these former teammates have developed over the years. But the job isn’t done yet. The real game will be to dominate each other on the gridiron come 2025 season.
