How Close Were Vikings to Trading Disgruntled WR? One Tweet Away…

The Minnesota Vikings came extremely close to trading wide receiver Jauan Jennings back to the San Francisco 49ers before the move fell apart at the last moment. NFL insider Ian Rapoport revealed on The Pat McAfee Show that a trade deal was so imminent that he had already drafted a social media post announcing it before it collapsed.

While FOX Sports insider Jay Glazer previously reported that Jennings himself nixed the potential trade, Rapoport questioned whether the receiver was truly the one who scuttled the agreement. Darren Wolfson of KSTP reported that Jennings is now expected to stay in Minnesota, a situation that may impact receiver Odell Beckham Jr.'s opportunities with the team.
