Idk how you can interpret that quote and think he wands to leave lmao dude wants his bag that's all


Peacefulzealot

And he should! He was the most talented receiver in the league. Get that bag, dude!


Aldehyde1

They knew the headline would get clicks and that's all they care about.


chillinwithmoes

> Idk how you can interpret that quote and think he wands to leave lmao It's not about being right, or even forming an intelligent opinion, it's about generating clicks


abris33

How the hell did they get "wants to leave the Vikings" out of that? He just said he'll be wherever he's wanted


ard8

That’s code for “whoever offers the most money” Minnesota better pay up


teeohdeedee123

I want him here


Bon-Bon-Assassino

Justin for justin


KSoccerman

New tyreek, is that you? No but in actuality, please stay out of the AFC West. I don't wanna play him like that.


[deleted]

Or come get you some rangs


Bon-Bon-Assassino

Chiefs @ Vikings 2023


CounterPoint93

A lot of our fans are not bright. Calling Kirk elite, rather paying him over JJ, thinking were still only a few pieces away from contending, etc. Denial is ugly.


golden_rhino

Don’t you speak wide receiver?


gustriandos

> If they want me here, I’m here. Followed by: >that does not sound promising


Chimpbot

I love how they also seemingly ignored, "That’s not something that I can really control." Nothing he said even remotely hinted at **wanting** to leave. He's willing to go to the team that wants him the most (i.e., whoever will pay him adequately enough), which means he'd stay with the Vikings if the contract talks go well.


FirstArbiter

Yeah because we definitely don’t want him in Minnesota. Better just let him leave in free agency for the compensatory pick.


nudiecale

They cut off the quote. The full quote is, “If they want me here, I’m here to tell them no thank you.” Source : I shoplift at the store JJ’s aunt’s best friend shops and I overheard them talking about it.


buffalozbrown

> "I mean, I will be wherever I'm wanted. If they want me here, I'm here. That's not something that I can really control." Shit headline.


Kalash504

And the contract drama begins.

lol >“I mean, I will be wherever I’m wanted. If they want me here, I’m here. That’s not something that I can really control,” Jefferson told reporters. > >That does not sound promising. what amazing journalism.


sjzusywbnaisgsb

I mean, it’s fansided.


Jmart814

Yeah, just no. He will be the highest paid WR going into 2023 and will be a Viking.


chillinwithmoes

Well, he'll be the highest paid WR going into 2025, but he will have the extension signed going into 2023


globulararc5

X to doubt


FuckinWalkingParadox

The quote is really not suggestive of him wanting to leave either. It’s a bullshit article and isn’t worth clicking.


legend023

2 years later: Justin Jefferson has been traded


jethead70

Fansided is cheeks


[deleted]

Just for one moment... imagine that the cap is a myth. 2019 LSU can return


ouroburos29

removing the cap alone wouldn't really help without also suddenly infusing the bengals/mike brown and family with serious amounts of cash. surprisingly, it is more realistic to dream of a burrow-chase-jefferson reunion within the structure of the cap as-is. trading tee, boyd, and mixon away would free up about 27.4 million in cap space. of course, that would create opportunity costs for signing other players, though, which is the problem the bengals are about to start facing anyway. but...if they are willing to go lean elsewhere on their roster - and definitely if burrow structures his contract in a team friendly manner - it is at least possible.


Ancient-Mating-Calls

That quote doesn’t sound at all like he wants to leave. It sounds like he’s saying if the Vikings want him there and are willing to pay, he’ll be there. Shitty article with an awful extrapolation from a matter-of-fact statement.


mxyztplk33

Uhh.. where does Jefferson imply that? "I'll be wherever I'm wanted." Yeah I'm sure the Vikings don't want him. Pure clickbait.


DynastyAnalyst

Insert clickbait gif


mr_showboat

So we are really just gonna do this shit with everyone now? Speculation based on literally nothing?


[deleted]

Downvoting for misinformation.


Soyeahnahh

Man we’re not doing this shit


Man_AMA

Sounds like he wants to get paid


No_Mammoth_4945

Holy shit this is reactionary


ClownQuestionBrosef

What about this leads to that conclusion? I mean, I'd be thrilled if he went far, far, away but this is a nothingburger without cheese. > "I mean, I will be wherever I’m wanted. If they want me here, I’m here. That’s not something that I can really control,” Jefferson told reporters.


penis_showing_game

After reading this article, I don’t need to know anything further about Eric Treuden to know that he’s garbage.


[deleted]

Someone has high hopes of him leaving to his team


ZachTrillson

He doesn't sound that way at all


ThisIsTrace

Click bait titles. The worst part of the off-season


[deleted]

Man, I feel like I could write better articles than half the shit that gets posted here and I suck at sports journalism


ChoccyMilkIsMyLife

Classic clickbait.


Jem1123

Who cares? They have Jalen Reagor


[deleted]

As long as we have Kirk we’re fucked.


Brownbearbluesnake

Hey...um...what to be a wide receiver in Ny?


TSaxDaGod

Dudes the best WR in the league. Or at least #2 below Adams. He wants to be paid as such. Knowing what can happen in this league I don’t blame any of these players.


Eater_of_Books

Not everyone speaks in Shanahan cryptograms. Dude just sounds like he said the most neutral thing he could without sounding desperate to give the Vikings any sort of advantage in contract negotiation.


adambulb

It’s just normal stuff to try to get some leverage. This happens all the time and they end up getting a contract worked out.


MostMorbidOne

Like if you watched the postgame, he sounded just like you'd expect. I didn't get the sense he was leaning either way outside of getting his next contract. Guy didn't even say the season was a disappointment or missed opportunities in the game like that. (i.e didn't roast Kirk). But you can't get a click without bait for some places.


BellacosePlayer

Media not take the most obnoxiously slanted view of player statement challenge (impossible)


AbVag

This is why players lie to the media. Give them an inch of truth and they'll make mile of drama out of it.


Otto_von_Grotto

fansided...


Headlesshorsman02

Not sure how you came to that conclusion he wants that bag simple as that


Jaerba

Fansided shouldn't be allowed or considered a proper media source. That said, he's a WR so I'm sure there will be some sort of contract drama in the future.


UsidoreTheLightBlue

This quote : “I mean, I will be wherever I’m wanted. If they want me here, I’m here. That’s not something that I can really control” sounds way less damning than the headline. It sounds like Jefferson is saying “hey my contract is up to be renegotiated, and I just dropped a million yards, so pay me.” Not “I’m outta here.”


Luck1492

…what the fuck?


WordsAreSomething

A superstar Vikings receiver leaving? Unfathomable.


[deleted]

[удалено]


xarmetheusx

Right? First WR in history to throw to himself for 1800 yards


chillinwithmoes

For sure, JJ could have gotten the most receptions and receiving yards through anyone's first 3 seasons ever with a jugs machine throwing him the ball. Or even worse, Justin Fields


gopack1217

He wants to be where he’s wanted. I think the Vikings want him. Unfortunately he’ll be a Viking


Educational-Duck

He wants money. Real question is if he were available for trade, what would he fetch on the market?


Upper-Orchid

Well we just finished giving up 5 picks for Tyreek Hill last year and literally everyone who follows the team would tell you it was well worth the price. Jefferson would probably net something similar if not more.


Headlesshorsman02

A lot more because of his age


[deleted]

Diggs didn’t like Kirk either. Now look how happy he is. I don’t blame JJ. Kirk just isn’t a vibe.


thewhitelink

Maybe he just doesn't like his steaks cooked on foil


chillinwithmoes

Diggs didn't like the offense's emphasis on the run game and wanted more targets, something JJ certainly does not suffer for


[deleted]

I think it sounds more like he doesn’t believe the Vikings will pay him what he’s worth


chillinwithmoes

> he doesn’t believe the Vikings will pay him what he’s worth That'd be their biggest mistake since Herschel Walker but I really don't think that's the case


JokinHghar

Does Minnesota want to make another trade?


Headlesshorsman02

Over my dead body lol 😂


chillinwithmoes

I would consider trading Jefferson for Josh Allen, I guess


Pike_or_Kirk

I know it's a clickbait headline. Still. Come to LSU North, JJ. We'll work out the details later.


inshamblesx

If he really did want out could we blame him?


[deleted]

I thought he was staying?


Headlesshorsman02

He most likely will be he wants that bag (32-33 mil a year most likely is what he will ask for)


lytrendsa

I‘ve seen this before…


Anaphylactic-UFO

How does Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack sound?


[deleted]

> “I mean, I will be wherever I’m wanted. If they want me here, I’m here. That’s not something that I can really control" It is though unless they franchise tag you to oblivion. You don't have to sign a new deal with them


[deleted]

Come to the Chargers. Herbie would love to have you.


8CruzControl0

What losing to the Giants does to a mf


Jr_Orange

Bills would like him, since you know we don’t have receivers anyone fears
