Closed deal: Vikings WR Justin Jefferson Terminates contract after Background Argument with Management

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson Terminates contract after Background Argument with Management

The Minnesota Vikings haven’t exactly been able to keep the rest of the NFL guessing because of what happened this offseason.

The Vikings are looking for a new quarterback. They are just as aware of it as the other thirty-one teams are. However, they are not going to divulge their trade secrets or pledge to just use their resources—two first-round selections, one of which was earned following Kirk Cousins’ departure—in order to advance and choose a passer.

During a press conference on Thursday, Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah stated, “We want to make sure that we set ourselves up for a potential better look if a team picks up the phone because they don’t have to pick up the phone.” “However, we also want to position ourselves to benefit greatly in the event that we select outstanding players and they don’t. Once more, I realize we speak about quarterbacks a lot, but they are the most crucial positions in team sports, not in our sport. It takes more than just having the quarterback right; it takes getting the quarterback and the supporting cast correct as well.

Thus, in a way, this choice is the intermediary between quarterback assets and everything else when it comes to our offseason. Our draft, I believe, will go in the same direction. You don’t necessarily want to go out and take these big risks if you can’t develop a team around them, in my opinion. Though it will be different, you won’t be where you want to be. Thus, I believe that’s how we interpret that choice.”
