True or untrue, a report stating that Minnesota was interested in trading up for Malik Nabers in the NFL draft has pushed its star receiver further away.
The idea that the Vikings liked another wide receiver and tried to trade for him now exists in the atmosphere. It has arrived like a storm cloud or a thick fog, polluting the environment in which general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah has to operate. The Vikings can call Jefferson and assure him it isn’t true, which I’m guessing they’ve attempted to do regardless of the validity of the report. It’s up to Jefferson and his camp to believe it at a very sensitive juncture.
If anything, now is a good time to finger wag. We should all appreciate the difficulty of Adofo-Mensah’s job, which involves pacifying a million people and remaining loyal to ownership and their ultimate wishes for how money is spent. He is probably being tugged from all ends like a vintage Gumby figurine. But he has unquestionably suffered in his efforts to be too cute with many aspects of his job as GM of the Vikings, including and especially the Jefferson contract.
Now, we are seeing the perils of leaving the gate wide open. Situations like this only exist to complicate a negotiation that should already break the mold when it comes to receiver contracts. The Vikings, as a franchise, have their backs against the wall given that they’ve proven a willingness to dole out fully guaranteed contracts .
