P.S. I would also be willing to throw in Boyd in the trade.
Someone else proposed this and I just can't see why the Vikings would accept. Jefferson fits the "generational" tag and is a top three WR - arguably the best, though I think that is Cooper Kupp at the moment.
This proposal is saying "here, we will give you an inconsistent, malcontent safety who wants to be paid top tier money for your potential Hall of Fame caliber receiver. Oh, and we'll throw in a slot receiver." On top of this, the Vikings just drafted a safety in the first round this year. The Vikings become demonstrably worse via this trade, in my opinion.
EDIT - I don’t mean this as a dog at Boyd. He is a fantastic slot receiver, but he isn’t able to provide the same value that Jefferson can.
