Wouldn’t hate adding a proven WR, would much prefer Hopkins though. From the sounds of it Hopkins is looking to get paid the highest WR contract in football. Not saying it happens, but he probably isn’t going to be playing on his contract either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Jefferson/Osborn/Nailor/Reagor/Powell Man, we still need some help here! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked what Osborn did towards the end of the year. I don’t think he necessarily has to be replaced and he’s earned more reps. But I don’t have any faith in the other three. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Trading for Juedy doesn’t make a lot of sense. That would mean the team would have to find a way to pay Jefferson, Hockenson, Osborn, and Juedy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeudy is going to want more than $20 million per season, and is likely to get that and more on the open market. Osborn is probably going to command $12-15 million. Plus we still have Darrisaw needing a massive extension in the next year or two and are currently still on the hook for Dalvin Cook's contract (although he's most likely gone after this season). If we're going to be in the market for a better #2 than Osborn, it's going to come in the first round of the draft. Otherwise, it's going to be a bargain bin free agent.

I feel like in that situation we would move on from Osborn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Osborn has another solid season I think that's absolutely in line with what he should expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People said the same thing when Christian Kirk broke the bank last year, and Osborn's current stats and trajectory are very much on par.

Osborn has currently shown as much, or more, than they did at similar stages in their careers. Additionally, the salary cap will be a fair amount higher when he's eligible for free agency. If he avoids injury, I think he easily eclipses that amount. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll leave it at that 😅 KJ Osborn hitting ~800 yards and ~5-8 TDs as a #3 option behind JJ and Hock will set him up nicely. Young, consistent, growth year to year - some team (if not the Vikings) will want to see if there's more there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
