Adam Carlson· Oct 14, 2026
Carlson names three Vikings he sees as most likely to be dealt before the November 10 trade deadline: receivers Jauan Jennings and Jordan Addison, and linebacker Ivan Pace Jr.
“The Vikings could attempt to get some kind of asset for him before the trade deadline instead of continuing to put him on the field.”

What others said about the same people
- Brian PeacockTrade and Signing Calls · Jordan AddisonMiss · 0Peacock delivered a seven-round 49ers mock draft plus projected offseason moves: signing tight end Kyle Pitts, trading Mac Jones to Minnesota and acquiring Jordan Addison, and drafting speed at receiver, edge, safety, center, corner, running back and tackle, with 40-time projections for several prospects.
- Joe DolanSleeper Calls · Jordan AddisonMiss · 0Dolan sees no fantasy value in Darren Waller's return with Miami (projecting him as roughly TE33), but loves Devon Achane's passing-game upside with Jonnu Smith gone, Rashee Rice as a discounted target hog who leads the Chiefs in targets, Kenneth Walker as a bell-cow at a cheap price, Jordan Addison as badly underpriced, Darnell Mooney as too cheap, Isaiah Likely as a late-round breakout, and Devaughn Vele as the Broncos' starting slot man.
- Nick ShookDepth Chart Calls · Jordan AddisonHit · 100Shook's picks in the best-position-group draft: Buccaneers receivers (over the Bengals), Lions tackles, Ravens tight ends, Steelers interior offensive line, Lions running backs, Giants edge rushers, Ravens safeties, Commanders quarterbacks, Lions defensive tackles and Texans safeties. He also called Jordan Addison one of the league's best No. 2 receivers.
- John MiddlekauffDepth Chart Calls · Jauan JenningsHit · 100In a mid-July podcast, Middlecoff reacted to the Garrett Wilson extension and Jauan Jennings' contract unhappiness, predicting Jennings is San Francisco's clear No. 1 receiver and will top 80 catches; he also expects the Browns to keep Quinshon Judkins on the roster, ranks Mahomes as the top quarterback, calls Dak a top-12 QB, backs Bo Nix as a top-15 starter, says the Bears should win 10 games but must be ranked behind Denver, and would take Dan Campbell over Nick Sirianni.
- Ryan McCrystalMock Draft Picks · Jordan AddisonHit · 88In his most recent mock draft, McCrystal projected specific first-round (and, for teams without first-rounders, Day 2/3) selections for all 32 teams in the 2023 NFL Draft, including Bryce Young at No. 1 to Carolina and Will Anderson at No. 2 to Houston.
- Brendan DonahueMock Draft Picks · Jordan AddisonHit · 88Donahue's most recent mock draft projected first-round selections for the 2023 NFL Draft, including Bryce Young No. 1 to Carolina, C.J.

- Tucker FranklinTrade and Signing Calls · Michael DannaHit · 100Tucker predicted edge David Bailey comes off the board before Ruben Bain Jr., that Peter Woods won't last until the Chiefs' pick at 40 (i.e. goes in round one), and that the Chiefs will cut Mike Danna and Jawaan Taylor.

- Mike KadlickTrade and Signing Calls · Marvin Harrison Jr.Miss · 0With a Marvin Harrison Jr. trade reportedly imminent, Kadlick names three landing spots that make sense for the Cardinals receiver: the Texans (reuniting him with C.J.
