– 🏈 Wrestle for a WR: Buffalo and San Francisco are eyeing Addison this offseason. The 49ers reportedly want to be aggressive, even trying to move up in the draft to land him, and Buffalo has a noted interest as well (they’ve even traded with Minnesota before for Stefon Diggs).
– 🔄 Vikings’ angle: Minnesota may be open to moving Addison to keep Jalen Nailor, who becomes a free agent in mid-March. The Vikings aren’t planning to pick up Addison’s fifth-year option, which opens the door for a potential trade.
– 🔎 Early talks: There have already been discussions between teams about Addison, though no concrete offer has surfaced yet. Nailor’s situation could be a key variable in any deal.
– 📊 Addison’s 2025 note: He logged 42 receptions, 610 yards, and 4 touchdowns in 14 games—a solid base that could attract strong returns in the right trade.
– 🔥 Value math: The Athletic’s Alec Lewis suggests the Vikings typically don’t move players at their lowest value, so Addison’s trade value this offseason will be a major factor in any deal.
– 💡 Takeaway: If Addison moves, expect a busy offseason for Minnesota. Nailor could become the compensating piece, while the Bills and 49ers chase a dynamic playmaker to boost their offenses.
