The Real Forno Show: What if the Vikings traded Justin Jefferson?

What happens to the Minnesota Vikings 2024 NFL Draft if they trade wide receiver Justin Jefferson? The Real Forno Show breaks it down.

What will the Minnesota Vikings do with Justin Jefferson and his contract? That’s one of the biggest questions surrounding the future of the franchise. How they choose to deal with him will determine a lot.

What happens if they decide to trade him? It’s not something that we necessarily should be arguing for, but it’s a real possibility. It’s even one the likes of Colin Cowherd and Mike Florio have speculated on.

On the latest episode of The Real Forno Show, we are attacking an NFL mock draft for the Vikings under the premise that they trade Jefferson to the New England Patriots at third overall to get the quarterback of the future. We will explore if it’s a good idea, what Jefferson would fetch in return and how it might impact a new quarterback.

The Real Forno Show: The Vikings should sign Saquon Barkley

The Real Forno Show discusses Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson’s contract and signing Saquon Barkley in free agency

With the combine now a week and a half away, things are starting to become clearer around the NFL, but major questions remain. One of those is Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson and a potential contract extension.

Both parties nearly agreed on one right before the start of the 2023 season, but they couldn’t quite get it done. Now that the season is over, more information is coming out. The latest is that the Vikings won’t be guaranteeing any salary after the first year of the contract. Is this normal? Are other contracts at the position like that? We will take a deep dive.

Also, the Vikings have a really big need at running back, and there are some really good ones at the position that they could consider. Should they pursue New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley? He would provide the Vikings an elite talent at the position, and that could end up fixing the running game. Is it worth the price?

To finish the show, host Tyler Forness breaks down the latest mock draft roundup, which features 10 players over 42 mock drafts this past week. What information can we gather from it?

The Real Forno Show: Tyler’s top 10 2024 NFL quarterbacks

The 2024 NFL Draft is jsut over two months away and Tyler Forness has his top 10 quarterbacks ready to break down on The Real Forno Show.

The NFL draft is fast approaching and the scouting combine is now just two weeks away. With the combine being so key for most positions, one where the drills don’t matter as much is the quarterback position.

Why doesn’t it matter as much for quarterbacks? Unless you are a dynamite runner, your 40-yard dash time doesn’t matter much and you only need to be a good athlete to truly thrive. Being a great one does help, but it’s more about what you do with the ball in your hand. Will the Minnesota Vikings view things the same way? We will find out come April.

With that being said, Tyler Forness’ preliminary top 10 quarterbacks for the 2024 NFL draft are set!

The Real Forno Show: How the Vikings should fix the roster

On The Real Forno Show, host Tyler Forness discusses how the Minnesota Vikings should use free agency and the NFL Draft to fix the roster

The Minnesota Vikings are in an interesting spot as we enter the heart of the offseason. How should they work toward fixing the roster?
