The #Vikings have solved their TE issue, as they are trading for promising #Jets TE Chris Herndon in exchange for draft pick compensation, sources say. Agent
@malkikawa later confirmed the deal. Herndon steps right in following Irv Smith’s knee injury.

Chris Herndon began offseason as #Jets starter before giving way to a four-man rotation (Kroft, Griffin, Wesco)

Herndon is an OK blocker, but he drops passes, lacks explosiveness, and seemed disinterested at times.



Perfect

Back in 2018, his Rookie Season, Chris Herndon finished…

9th in yds per reception (12.9)
7th in yds per target (9)
8th in yds per route run (2.3)
9th in TDs (4)

averaging 4 targets, 2.8 catches, and 36 yards.

Steal


Can't be a steal until we know what we gave up.  If it was a late 3rd day.  Then no problems here!!

Trade details: The #Vikings are trading a 2022 fourth-round pick to the #Jets for TE Chris Herndon and a 2022 sixth-round pick, per source. It wasn't on the transaction wire today, but the deal is done. twitter.com/RapSheet/statu…

If it’s a swapped 4th than this is a good deal. Their 4th will likely be higher than ours. Almost makes it a wash to me then giving up a 6th.

Herndon was great his rookie year, but has been banged up since. I took him in fantasy after his rookie year so I’m familiar with him. Good blocker, huge potential. A change to a better team could be a big spark from him after playing in purgatory.

If you are responding to my info you misread it.  We swapped our 4th for Herdon and their 6th.

To facilitate the Chris Herndon trade, the #Jets paid him a roughly $1.4 million signing bonus, while the #Vikings will pay only the $920,000 minimum salary. So in essence, New York trades Herndon, a 6th-round pick and a little cash for a 4th, and Minnesota gets TE help cheap.

A 4th is rich. A 4th for Herndon and a 6th, but still seems a little high.

Agree, a little rich, wonder about ISJ.

Now granted it was the Jets 6th rounder,   so its likely to be pretty high,  but I think the way things are falling our 4th is likely to only be about 10 spots after the Jets 4th.  The light bulb better snap on pretty bright for this kid here or someone should lose his trading privileges.

If Herndon leaves after this season, Minny will also receive a comp pick for him in 2023.

Definitely too rich, but I think they really want to run 12 personnel.
