Troy Aikman could not believe his eyes after seeing Justin Jefferson's bright necklace before the Minnesota Vikings' Monday Night Football clash against the Buffalo Bills.

Before the game, cameras spotted Jefferson warming up with a very bright necklace, just part of his jewelry collection worth over $1 million. Upon seeing what was around the Vikings star's neck as he continued to warm up for the game, Aikman was left flabbergasted by the 27-year-old's mettle.

"I'm guessing that's insured," Aikman joked as he watched Jefferson warming up with his diamond chains on. "I cannot imagine wearing that on a football field. Can't imagine wearing it, period."

He then joked, "I may try ...if someone would lend me some money." His comment also elicited a laugh from Joe Buck, despite the two having an explosive falling-out after Buck quietly received a six-year, $108 million extension from ESPN while Aikman awaited a new contract.

As for Jefferson, the star wide receiver has a number of pieces added to his collection after signing a four-year, $140 million contract extension with the Vikings. That contract includes $110 million guaranteed with an $89 million signing bonus.

Soon after signing his lucrative deal, Jefferson spent $1 million on a Leo Frost-designed chain, with Frost being a go-to jeweler for many NFL players. Frost also has been connected to stars like Joe Burrow, Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Ja'Marr Chase.

When he plays, Jefferson makes it a point to wear several chains, with the price of those chains varying. Some are worth roughly $20,000, with the number fluctuating depending on what he is wearing for that particular day.

The $1 million necklace includes 14k gold and 37 VVS diamonds, showing just how flashy the star can be at times. That said, wearing the expensive chain did not help the star in the slightest against the Bills, as the Vikings were dismantled 23-6.

With quarterback Kyler Murray sidelined due to injury, veteran signal caller Carson Wentz took over under center and struggled mightily to get anything going. He finished the game completing 8 of 25 pass attempts for 81 yards with two interceptions and one sack.

Jefferson was only targeted 11 times Monday night, recording three receptions for 58 yards as Wentz struggled to connect with any of his receivers against the Bills.

Wentz was eventually replaced by Max Brosmer late in the fourth quarter, who completed 6-of-7 pass attempts for 58 yards.
