The next wave of football rumors, reports and speculation is going to come over the next week as the NFL Scouting Combine is held in Indianapolis, Ind. Feb. 26 through Feb. 4 – and you can bet your bottom dollar that there will be much to say about Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson.

Ahead of the combine opening on Monday there was a Saturday nugget from longtime Twin Cities sports columnist Charley Walters, who wrote that “steam continues that the Vikings could make Justin Jefferson available for trade.”

What that steam is we don’t know because there haven’t been any verified reports saying Minnesota has any interest in trading the 24-year-old megastar. Sure, Colin Cowherd proposed the idea but other than that it’s been nothing more than an idea floated by talk show hosts.

What we can trust are the words directly from Jefferson.

“I want to break the bank and I want to be a part of an organization that wants me and to really give me what I deserve. I feel like eventually the Vikings will do what they need to do to have me in the building, but I don’t really know at this very moment. Only time will tell,” Jefferson said during Super Bowl week.
