MINNESOTA VIKINGS TRIED TO TRADE JUSTIN JEFFERSON DURING 2024 NFL DRAFT
The Minnesota Vikings are currently locked into a dramatic contract situation with superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson. Some believe a deal will get done between the two sides, but others think the situation is destined for a divorce. It appears that the Vikings were very open to the idea of moving on from Jefferson earlier this offseason.

According to a report from Charley Walters of the Pioneer Press, the Vikings tried to trade up in the 2024 NFL Draft to get Malik Nabers. If they had been able to pull off that trade, Jefferson would have been traded.


Talk about a massive report to make at this point in the offseason. One has to wonder if this will impact the contract discussions even more moving forward.
