Vikings Assess Veteran WR Market as Diggs Talk Resurfaces

Minnesota faces a thin third-receiver spot that has prompted calls for a short-term veteran fix.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Aaron Schatz highlighted wideout as Minnesota’s top remaining need, noting a shallow depth chart behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison with Tai Felton next up and little proven experience after him.
  • The Vikings recently hosted free agent Jauan Jennings on a visit, and he left without a contract as he continues to weigh options.
  • Stefon Diggs, an 11-year veteran who played for New England last season, is a free agent, and his recent acquittal has renewed outside discussion of a short-term reunion in Minnesota.
  • Former lineman Mark Schlereth advised teams to consider Diggs on a one-year deal and framed him as a potential mid-June add, praising his work habits while acknowledging off-field controversy.
  • OverTheCap pegs Minnesota’s flexibility at about $16 million after the Jonathan Greenard trade, which could support a targeted veteran signing that steadies the passing game for a new-look quarterback room.
