Analyst believes the Vikings will be active at the trade deadline
The undefeated Vikings could be active as next month's trade deadline approaches.
The Minnesota Vikings, currently leading the NFC North, may be looking to bolster their roster ahead of the trade deadline next month, according to analyst Moe Moton of Bleacher Report. Holding four first-round draft picks, Minnesota could acquire a talented player from a team planning to offload some of its roster. Potential suitors include the Indianapolis Colts, who recently fired GM Chris Ballard, and the Philadelphia Eagles, who may be without key player Jalen Hurts for the remainder of the season.
The Vikings, despite being undefeated, face a challenging stretch of games against competitive NFC North opponents like the Detroit Lions, Buffalo Bills, Green Bay Packers, and San Francisco 49ers. Moton notes that Kyler Murray's inconsistent play and modest performance this season could prompt the Vikings to restructure their wide receiver room.
While Jennings' trade status seems unlikely due to his minimal contributions, other players like Quenton Nelson from the Colts, Jonathan Taylor from the Colts, and Saquon Barkley from the Eagles are among those Minnesota could target. With the trade deadline on November 10, Minnesota still has time to make significant moves if they believe they are just one or two players away from reaching the postseason.
