The Vikings were not able to make big splashes in free agency this offseason. But the value they got on certain signings might prove to be helpful.
One of those signings, Tajae Sharpe, is among those who could provide value. Sharpe could possibly come in and fill out the third wide receiver spot.
Bleacher Report named him the Vikings’ biggest sleeper. Here’s what it said about Sharpe:
“Unlike the Tennessee Titans, we’re not ready to give up on Tajae Sharpe.
The four-year veteran is expected to at least grab the No. 3 receiver job as a new member of the Minnesota Vikings with rookie first-round pick Justin Jefferson expected by most to essentially replace the departed Stefon Diggs. But you never know what to expect from a rookie wide receiver, and Sharpe has the ability to deliver as a starter without being the focal point of the balanced offense.”
Sharpe had 1,167 yards and eight touchdowns in his three-year NFL career so far with the Titans. Due to Diggs’ departure, Sharpe has a chance to raise those numbers and take on a bigger role.
