GOOD NEWS: Missouri Tigers head coach Eliah Drinkwitz recently welcomed his new child.
The Vikings have profited from having the top wide receiver in the NFL for the last few years. Thanks to Kirk Cousins, the new quarterback for the Falcons, and Justin Jefferson, they have won a lot of games.The Vikings have not yet signed Jefferson to an extension as his rookie deal is about to expire.With each passing day, his worth increases. Recent rumours suggest that the Vikings may not be eager to provide him a large contract.The Atlanta Falcons may be able to acquire the best receiver in the league to their already impressive squad by taking advantage of the Minnesota Vikings management office’s reservations.
Justin Jefferson, a wide receiver for the Vikings, could be dealt to the Falcons.
According to reports, the Minnesota Vikings were thinking about moving up to select LSU receiver Malik Nabers in the first round. Ultimately, Nabers signed with the Giants, but if the Vikings had negotiated a deal to get Justin Jefferson, he would not have remained.
This scenario might seem like a “coulda, woulda, shoulda,” but it shows how unwilling the Vikings are to tie star receiver down to a contract that will cost more over $100 million. If the Vikings were determined to hold Jefferson captive, they most certainly would have done it by now.
To capitalise, the Falcons should trade draft picks for him. The price being greater than a first-round pick shouldn’t be a problem for a team that plans to pick late in the first round and is investigating anything that can cost them draft picks.
Furthermore, it’s no secret that Jefferson enjoys playing with Kirk Cousins. With some of the finest chemistry in the league now, the Falcons have an early advantage in a season where it may take a few weeks for everyone to click.
