According to ESPN reporter Josina Anderson, the Vikings are interested in the former Jaguars WR Dede Westbrook. Westbrook has had early successes in his career so far, and would join a talented receiver room with Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen.
The interest comes in no surprise as Vikings hired former Jaguars WR coach Keenan McCardell this off-season. McCardell is a big fan of Dede Westbrook. The four year pro had a quiet season last year, but would get plenty of opportunities on a Vikings’s squad looking for some much needed depth.
The signing would provide the Vikings with a quality third option in the wide receiving core and would allow Viking’s rookie Ihmir Smith-Marsette some time to develop and gain some strength.
