The Green Bay Packers had themselves a fairly eventful off-season, to say the least. Green Bay ushered in a new era after trading Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets. The move signified a changing of the guard at the most important position in football.
The Vikings moved on from a few notable players this off-season as well, most notably Adam Thielen and Dalvin Cook. Now they are supposedly exploring a trade that would involve them giving up a first round wide receiver.
The Minnesota Vikings Are Taking Calls For Former First Round Wide Receiver Jalen Reagor
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that the Minnesota Vikings have been taking calls regarding Jalen Reagor. Reagor was a trade acquisition by the Vikings last year from the Eagles.
Despite being taken in the first round, Reagor has yet to make an impact in the same manner as some of his peers from the 2020 NFL Draft. He was selected by the Eagles out of TCU that year. Coincidentally he was drafted just behind CeeDee Lamb, and one spot ahead of his current teammate, All-Pro Wide Receiver Justin Jefferson.
Over the course of his three NFL seasons, Reagor has accumulated 72 receptions for 799 yards and four touchdowns. Last year with the Vikings, the 24-year-old wide receiver had eight catches for 104 yards and one touchdown in 17 games.
How Would This Impact The Green Bay Packers?
The Vikings’ top three wide receivers still (figure) to be Justin Jefferson, K.J. Osborn, and Jordan Addison. Reagor would likely be their fourth of fifth option going into 2023.
It would be interesting to see the depth at the position if Minnesota did in fact off-load Reagor. Jalen Nailor and Brandon Powell are the only two other wide receivers listed on their initial 53-man roster (outside of Reagor).
The Packers won’t see the Vikings until week seven (at Lambeau). Reagor could be long gone by then.
