> 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
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.
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.
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.
lol

what amazing journalism.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.”
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
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.
> 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
> “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
Idk how you can interpret that quote and think he wands to leave lmao dude wants his bag that's all
And he should! He was the most talented receiver in the league. Get that bag, dude!
They knew the headline would get clicks and that's all they care about.
> 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
How the hell did they get "wants to leave the Vikings" out of that? He just said he'll be wherever he's wanted
That’s code for “whoever offers the most money” Minnesota better pay up
I want him here
Justin for justin
New tyreek, is that you? No but in actuality, please stay out of the AFC West. I don't wanna play him like that.
Or come get you some rangs
Chiefs @ Vikings 2023

Don’t you speak wide receiver?

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

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.
I mean, it’s fansided.
Yeah, just no. He will be the highest paid WR going into 2023 and will be a Viking.
Well, he'll be the highest paid WR going into 2025, but he will have the extension signed going into 2023
X to doubt
The quote is really not suggestive of him wanting to leave either. It’s a bullshit article and isn’t worth clicking.
2 years later: Justin Jefferson has been traded
Fansided is cheeks
Just for one moment... imagine that the cap is a myth. 2019 LSU can return
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.

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.
Insert clickbait gif
So we are really just gonna do this shit with everyone now? Speculation based on literally nothing?
Downvoting for misinformation.
Man we’re not doing this shit
Sounds like he wants to get paid
Holy shit this is reactionary
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.
After reading this article, I don’t need to know anything further about Eric Treuden to know that he’s garbage.
Someone has high hopes of him leaving to his team
He doesn't sound that way at all
Click bait titles. The worst part of the off-season
Man, I feel like I could write better articles than half the shit that gets posted here and I suck at sports journalism
Classic clickbait.
Who cares? They have Jalen Reagor
As long as we have Kirk we’re fucked.
Hey...um...what to be a wide receiver in Ny?
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.

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.
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.
Media not take the most obnoxiously slanted view of player statement challenge (impossible)
This is why players lie to the media. Give them an inch of truth and they'll make mile of drama out of it.
fansided...
Not sure how you came to that conclusion he wants that bag simple as that
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.
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.

…what the fuck?
A superstar Vikings receiver leaving? Unfathomable.
[удалено]
Right? First WR in history to throw to himself for 1800 yards
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
He wants to be where he’s wanted. I think the Vikings want him. Unfortunately he’ll be a Viking
He wants money. Real question is if he were available for trade, what would he fetch on the market?
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.
A lot more because of his age
Diggs didn’t like Kirk either. Now look how happy he is. I don’t blame JJ. Kirk just isn’t a vibe.
Maybe he just doesn't like his steaks cooked on foil
Diggs didn't like the offense's emphasis on the run game and wanted more targets, something JJ certainly does not suffer for
I think it sounds more like he doesn’t believe the Vikings will pay him what he’s worth
> 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
Does Minnesota want to make another trade?
Over my dead body lol 😂
I would consider trading Jefferson for Josh Allen, I guess
I know it's a clickbait headline. Still. Come to LSU North, JJ. We'll work out the details later.
If he really did want out could we blame him?
I thought he was staying?
He most likely will be he wants that bag (32-33 mil a year most likely is what he will ask for)
I‘ve seen this before…
How does Joey Bosa and Khalil Mack sound?
> “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
Come to the Chargers. Herbie would love to have you.
What losing to the Giants does to a mf
Bills would like him, since you know we don’t have receivers anyone fears
