Vikings work out WR JuJu Smith-Schuster

Lol, to what end? Is OBJ cooked?

OBJ staring at his lease agreement.

Nolan switched from RBs to WRs to torture....

I'll bet a lot of these tryouts are just to kick the tires in case something bad happens down the road.

Just to build their intuition up on what’s out there?

Wouldn’t surprise me if its the Coordinators on down doing the majority of some of these.

Are you a wide receiver whose career is cooked? Come to the Kevin O'Connell school of purple performative wideout rehab!

First, we'll put you on the practice squad where you'll receive a handsome weekly stipend of around 12 thousand dollars for your time.

From there the fawning, ever hungry for any story no matter how unlikely it is local media will pretend you might play a few downs, and this will boost your social media presence. It will feel somewhat like the old days when you were actually relevant!

After not playing for several weeks you'll be released, and the Vikings org will issue a paragraph of flowery thoughts about you that will feel like a warm, golden shower of appreciation.

Afterwards as you ask yourself what the hell just happened, you'll watch us sign another guy to do the same dance with.

Congratulations, you've graduated. Your KOC Inspirational Former Vet diploma is in the mail!

Could we potentially trade Jennings? Who knows, just a guess based on his lack of involvement so far. Seemed pretty pissed on the sideline Sunday (pounding the turf) after Kyler didn’t throw it to him on a crosser near the end zone when he was open, then overthrew him slightly on another route.

KOC said today they want to use the bye to find ways to get him more involved though.

He and Jennings are same age. Knowing we could likely slot in OBJ/Felton and get the same production, do we trade Jauan for a 4 or so to SF and save money? Gives them 2 wks to learn playbook at minimum

My private conspiracy is that we are getting some secret knowledge of other teams playbooks.

Probably wouldn't hold up to a slight breeze, but hey, it is my theory.

Sometimes I think they just do these agents a favor for future considerations…🤔

I do believe Jennings will be traded. Not sure it was a great fit in this offense. He really has struggled and his grade outs are not good. Cant get separation.

2 words for this and the OBJ move. 1)Jauan, 2) Jennings

I doubt a trade mid season but its possible with what I am seeing. There are multiple instances of frustration showing now during games and Jauan has a little history of a case of the headcase. It could come back together with him as the #3 if Jets and Addison are both healthy and Kyler finding some comfort, but these signings are for a reason.

This is not going to play well with the team culture...

#Vikings WR Jauan Jennings was seen “loudly going at” Kevin O’Connell after Myles Price’s fumble returned for. TD, @DWolfsonKSTP mentioned via @SKORNorth. Jennings went “into KOC’s vasinity” and had words for him. Kevin O’Connell “really didn’t have anything to say.” “Saints running for the TD. Jauan Jennings turns, finds KOC, and it looked like he was pretty animated.”

Let's be honest. None of the second and third reads in a progression have been getting much action. Just whoever is the one guy Kyler's supposed to look at and then checkdown to the TE.

It's just going to take him a little while to get mastery over the offense, and it's complicated by changing the offense as much as we have from the first couple Kyler games to the last one.

Not saying that Jennings should be excused, just that I think people are hyperfixating on the receivers, when maybe Kyler just needs more time.

Nailed it. Plus the fact that it took KO a few games to realize KM is not a QB who excels under center for obvious reasons. Glad he adjusted faster than I thought he would.

KM just started getting comfy with his 2nd read at TE. He has been in tune with JJ for the limited time he was on the field and same with Addison. But Medaille hit it on the head. WR#1 gets the prime look and then he goes right to the TE. Hopefully he'll be able to get to a point where he does WR#1, WR#2 and then TE.

Time will tell
