Mixed-up CBS Sports analyst thinks Vikings should trade Justin Jefferson because of Bralon Addison

Have you heard of Bralon Addison? CBS Sports’ Kyle Long thinks that the Vikings should trade Justin Jefferson because of his presence

Have you heard of wide receiver Bralon Addison? He played football at Oregon and spent an offseason with the Minnesota Vikings in 2020. He also crossed paths with former NFL offensive lineman and current CBS analyst Kyle Long while they both attended Oregon in 2012.

According to Long, the Vikings should trade wide receiver Justin Jefferson because of the presence of Addison. Unfortunately, he had the wrong Addison. Bralon is under contract with the Ottawa Redblacks of the Canadian Football League. The Vikings selected Jordan Addison in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft.

Long also stated that the Vikings need to trade Jefferson because they didn’t win a Super Bowl. Yes, you heard that correctly. The Vikings, who just dealt with an injury-plagued season, should trade their best player because they didn’t win a Super Bowl.

Pair that with his rationale of Kirk Cousins having a great year despite missing nine games and you have one doozy of a take.

Is there merit to trading Jefferson? Perhaps, especially when you consider he would bring back at least two first-round draft picks and perhaps more. However, the rationale provided by Long just doesn’t add up to a worthwhile reason to trade arguably the best non-quarterback in football.

Vikings sign 2 to future contracts

Bralon Addison caught 95 passes for 1,236 yards and seven touchdowns to go along with 218 rushing yards in the CFL.

The Vikings announced Monday that they have signed two players to future contracts.

One was defensive end Stacy Keely, who spent time on the team’s practice squad last season.

The other was wide receiver Bralon Addison.

Addison spent the last two seasons playing for the Hamilton Tiger Cats in the Canadian Football League.

Last season was a big one for Addison. He caught 95 passes for 1,236 yards and seven touchdowns to go along with 218 rushing yards.

Addison spent time with the Broncos and Bears during his rookie season back in 2016 as an undrafted free agent out of Oregon.

The Vikings, who badly need receiver help, hope that Addison could be a steal.
