What happened: Former Cardinals QB Kyler Murray and former 49ers WR Jauan Jennings are both set to play for the Minnesota Vikings in 2026, per Adam Schefter. Jennings reached agreement on a one-year deal worth up to $13 million, per agent Drew Rosenhaus. The pairing brings together two players who previously started for division rivals in the NFC West.
Why it matters: The move gives Minnesota a proven contested-catch receiver to replace Jalen Nailor, who left for the Raiders on a three-year, $35 million deal. Pairing Jennings with Murray adds a new dynamic to a Vikings offense that has cycled through quarterbacks, including a recent one-year deal with Carson Wentz. The reunion of former NFC West starters in Minnesota signals an aggressive offseason reshuffle.
By the numbers: Jennings: 1-year deal, up to $13M (per Rosenhaus). Nailor departed Vikings: 3-year, $35M with Raiders.
What to watch: Watch for how Minnesota structures its quarterback room around Murray and whether Jennings slots in as the primary outside receiver. Training camp will clarify the depth chart and Murray's role.
