Vikings refuse to re-sign mascot Ragnar for $20K a game—report

According to multiple media reports, Juranitch was asking for a 10-year contract that paid him $20,000 a game. That comes out to $1.6 million for eight home games per season, and $2 million if counting preseason games. He had been making about $1,500 a game as an independent contractor.

The Vikings greatly appreciate what Ragnar has meant to the organization and to the fans over the last two decades, the team said. We will always consider Ragnar an important part of Vikings history.
