“With Jordan Addison suspended and multiple injuries, the #Vikings are seriously exploring veteran receivers in the trade market, per sources,” Pelissero wrote on social media on Wednesday. “All-Pro Justin Jefferson (hamstring) is on track for Week 1. His early-season running mate may not be on the roster.”

Max Brosmer's short-but-stellar stay shaped Minnesota into a dangerous passing team last season, when the Gophers threw the ball more times than they ran it for the first time in 17 years.

In the NFL, offense is king; it sells tickets, and it is what most fans come in to the stadium or turn the TV on to watch perform on the field. Of course, defense has its place too, but in recent years, the NFL has become an arms race of sorts for teams as they look to have deeper arsenals of weapons to perform each other out.

NFL rumors are swirling from a possible landing spot for Anthony Richardson to three teams eying the trade for receiver upgrades.

The Vikings are coming off a draft with limited picks, but they're now heading into 2026 reloaded. General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah has shown he can build a roster through free agency, but the draft remains a work in progress. He has improved significantly since his first class in 2022, but 2026 is expected to be a pivotal year.

But apparently, Minnesota is looking into potential solutions. Tom Pelissero of NFL media has reported that the Vikings are "seriously exploring" a wide receiver trade and are specifically looking for veteran receivers.

The Minnesota Vikings received an onslaught of backlash on social media after it hired two male cheerleaders, Louie Conn and Blaize Shiek. Earlier this month, the NFL team softly announced on Instagram that its cheer squad had a few new additions.
