Vikes invade XFL
The #Vikings have signed WR Lucky Jackson (@TheyHearMeNow) and waived OLB Kenny Willekes.
— Minnesota Vikings (@Vikings) May 23, 2023
Jackson appeared in 10 games with the D.C. Defenders in 2023.
I'm surprised that Willekes was waived. With the Z. trade, I thought that Willekes had a chance to make the team as an OLB. He did flash the few times that he took the field. This might be a case of the current regime churning the roster & replacing players drafted by the prior regime.
Somebody want to tell Kwesi that we are fine at WR..Even BEFORE the draft.
To be Honest, i think KJ will out perform Addison
Willekes just doesn't have the athleticism for the NFL. Big time overachiever in college. Hustle and grit, but is handled way too easily by NFL offensive lineman.

Wasn't he with Dallas for a bit? As a kick returner? Or am I thinking of someone else?
Vikings Get Lucky, now there’s a new narative…! B)
