Stephen A Smith Urges Vikings WR Justin Jefferson to Make Major Move

ESPN broadcast personality Stephen A. Smith urged Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson to make a major move.

The Minnesota Vikings' loss to the Buffalo Bills in a Week 9 game has ignited discussions about wide receiver Justin Jefferson's future with the team. Following a poor performance from quarterback Carson Wentz, who threw for only 81 yards and two interceptions, Jefferson's production has been subpar. Despite this, Jefferson downplayed the need for a quarterback change, stating he is focused on playing and being the team's leader.

However, ESPN's Stephen A. Smith has suggested that Jefferson should request a trade before Tuesday's trade deadline. Over his first seven games of the 2026 season, Jefferson has only 31 catches for 393 yards and four touchdowns, raising questions about his value as a player. The Vikings will aim to turn things around when they face the Green Bay Packers in Week 10.
