Justin Jefferson\u00a0has been the subject of trade rumors all offseason. So far, he\u2019s stayed put. However, there\u2019s talk of a possible draft-day move.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Minnesota Vikings\u00a0haven\u2019t made much progress in their contract negotiations with the wide receiver, who is approaching the final year of his deal. One would think they would have been more eager to lock a receiver of Justin\u2019s caliber down, but they\u2019re taking their time.<\/p>\n

Their patience is slightly more understandable when you consider that the wideout is likely to become the highest-paid non-quarterback in\u00a0NFL\u00a0history. But\u00a0ProFootballTalk\u2019s Mike Florio has suggested that the Vikings could trade him to the Washington Commanders in exchange for their No. 2 overall pick and draft Jayden Daniels on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The Vikings have two first-round picks for this year\u2019s draft, which suggests they could be keen on trading up. But you\u2019d probably struggle to find an NFL GM who wouldn\u2019t at least think about giving up his team\u2019s pick in a straight swap for Jefferson. Of course, such a deal would depend on whether the Commanders are convinced that Daniels is their man.<\/p>\n

What Might The Vikings Have To Give Up Along With Justin Jefferson?<\/h2>\n

Florio has proposed that the Vikings could send Jefferson and the 11th pick to Washington in exchange for their No. 2 pick and their second-round, No. 36 pick.<\/p>\n

Jefferson hasn\u2019t expressed a desire to leave Minnesota, yet he might be frustrated by the fact that the team is dragging its feet on his extension. Plus, one can\u2019t help but wonder whether his admitting jealousy over\u00a0Joe Burrow\u00a0and Ja\u2019Marr Chase getting to play together in the pros hints at him wanting to join the Cincinnati Bengals.<\/p>\n

For now, it doesn\u2019t appear that the Vikings are excited about paying Jefferson, so they could just trade him and start fresh instead of stretching what could be the inevitable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
