Long article about posturing a potential Jefferson move after the season, if QB play isn't better.

How long will Justin Jefferson stay in Minnesota? Kyler Murray, J.J. McCarthy can stop the clock from ticking

OMG I am so sick of these clickbait articles. TC just needs to get here. A starter won't be named I feel. The starter will simply come out in TC and take all reps with the 1s on day one.

Its CBS Sports.....and I always look up the authors of the stories. This dude graduated college 5 years ago, covered some Oregon State athletics, etc. He's just a kid that came cheap as that's how they hire for these online positions now. Their website is low traffic, so you get what you get. SI.com a year or so ago got busted when many of their sportswriters were exposed as AI generated 'reporters'.....in their defense, this is the kind of stories they are supposed to put out as it creates engagement and they hope other online aggregators pick it up so it gets monetized with views.

I hear you both. I found it ridiculous, so I figured I'd share the fun with everyone.

As for CBS Sports, I frequent there for scores and such, because I've given up on ESPIN crap a couple years ago and I refuse to go there anymore. But the point remains, I don't know that it matters what National Media outlet you frequent, you're going to get crap like this just seeing if it sticks and trying to create controversy whereever possible.
