Vikings’ $8 Million Veteran Floated as Potential Trade Option for Chiefs

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jauan Jennings has emerged as a potential trade candidate for the Kansas City Chiefs ahead of the NFL trade deadline. Jennings, who signed a one-year, $8 million contract in the offseason, has recorded just two catches for nine yards through four games. NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported on "The Pat McAfee Show" that trade discussions surrounding Jennings are expected to increase in the coming weeks.

Minnesota Vikings on SI's Devon Platana suggested the Chiefs as an ideal landing spot, noting Kansas City previously pursued Jennings before he joined Minnesota. With wide receivers Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy struggling for yardage, Platana argued Kansas City could use receiver reinforcement for quarterback Patrick Mahomes as tight end Travis Kelce remains their primary offensive weapon.
