Tai Felton....yeeesh. You'd think if he had some juice they'd easily let Nailor go.

I don't think it's as simple as all that. Felton was a redshirt, so we know nothing about him yet. But I read something yesterday that said the Vikings "love" Jalen Nailor. Vikings can't lose both Nailor and Addison, and I don't think it's 100% Addison gets a 2nd contract. 

The offset timing of these two decisions is what makes it complicated. Vikings don't have to make a decision on Addison for another year. They have to make a decision on Nailor in a few days. If they let him go, then watch Addison get arrested again, we're screwed. 

But how do you convince a guy to stay on a team with question marks at QB, and who's almost certainly going to get WR2 opportunities and the money that goes with it? That's really hard to see.

I think Nailor is gone....Too many options it seems

You know Makai Lemon is going to be there at 18 is my prediction. But they better go D lol!

I'll say it again: I wonder what the organization thinks of Tai Felton?

I have to think that McCardell was consulted & approved the Felton pick. I admit that I didn't like Felton's game at Maryland, but if McCardell wanted him then I'm okay with it.

This is the best WR in the draft IMO. How far could he fall?

Vikings have to make a decision on Jordan Addison's fifth year option (2027) in less than two months, May 1 2026.

Addison will be due $18m, fully guaranteed, if the fifth year option is picked up. His cap number for this year is $4.37m. If the Vikings decide to not pick up the fifth year option, Addison will be a free agent after the 2026 season.

"It would behoove the Vikings to give Addison that fifth-year option, as his talent level is closer to the likes of DeVonta Smith at $25 million per season (APY)."

Even at $18m Addison is a deal. Everything that I've read is that the Vikings are planning to pick up the fifth year option on Addison.
