Justin Jefferson

No. 18 · 7th season

The Raiders keep coming up when people talk about where Jefferson ends up

Trade rumors have a way of picking up speed before anyone is ready for them. Justin Jefferson's name is in the air, and Las Vegas keeps landing at the top of the list of places people think he could go.

Jefferson has spent his career in Minnesota, where he became one of the best wide receivers in football — the kind of player a franchise builds around. Now there is at least one thread that makes Las Vegas more than a random guess: Klint Kubiak, who has a connection to Jefferson, is there.

That connection matters in the NFL. Familiarity with a coach — someone who already knows how you move, what you need, how to use you — is exactly the kind of thing that makes a trade make sense on both sides. It gives the rumor a foundation.

Nothing has happened yet. Jefferson is still a Viking. But when a player of his caliber starts getting linked to a specific destination, and there is a reason behind it beyond pure speculation, it tends to be worth watching.
