Vikings Eye Jauan Jennings as Freed-Up Cap Space Opens WR Door

The Jonathan Greenard trade freed up more than $12 million on the Vikings’ books. Now the question is how they spend it.

Veteran wide receiver Jauan Jennings has emerged as a realistic target, with Vikings insider Alec Lewis flagging the 28-year-old former 49er as a post-draft option worth watching. Jennings is a physical, contested-catch receiver who fits the profile of what Minnesota needs to complement their existing weapons.

The timing works. The cap space is there. And after trading away Greenard before the draft, the Vikings appear ready to reload at a different position.

It’s a rumour for now. But with money in the bank and a receiver room that needs depth, Jennings to Minnesota is a connection that isn’t going away.
