Time To Move Treadwell?

ESPN Vikings reporter Courtney Cronin thinks Minnesota "could be proactive this offseason" and shop Laquon Treadwell via trade. The 23rd overall pick in the 2016 draft, Treadwell has not gotten his NFL career off the ground with just 21 catches for 215 scoreless yards in two seasons. He hasn't been able to crack the starting lineup behind studs Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs, and Jarius Wright is a more natural No. 3 man. If the Vikings did trade 22-year-old Treadwell, they wouldn't net more than a late-rounder.

Unless you're going to tell me that the Cincinnati FO and Marvin Lewis forced Pacman Jones on Zimmer.


Well the culture that Zimmer and Spielman is building is
different than what was built with Lewis and Zimmer.  They took on a lot more character concern
players in Cincinnati.  Here we are
delving into that area much less and constantly mention character as a key attribute to what we are looking for.

Secondly, I think Zimmer may be willing to take a chance on
a great football player that’s rough around the edges.  I don’t know a lot about Apple, but everything
that is said about Apple is anti-Zimmer.

He loafs plays.  He’s divisive
in the locker room.  He doesn’t accept
coaching well.  He doesn’t think that he’s
the problem.  When was the last time a player
has gone to the media and explicitly called out their teammate as a “cancer”?   His
problems inhibit him becoming a good football player, rather than being off the
field issues you have to manage.

What am I missing here?

I would guess Treadwell's trade value somewhere between a 3rd and a 5th rounder.


This did make me chuckle. Good one!

Who's Laquon Treadwell? I have erased such dismay from my memory banks...
