Yesterday, the Minnesota Vikings traded away Harrison Phillips in a move that freed up over $7 million in salary cap space for the current season. This immediately got people thinking that it could lead to another move as a follow-up, as trading away a defensive leader doesn't make much sense otherwise.

The Minnesota Vikings are in a bit of a pickle at the wide receiver position right now. Jordan Addison will be sidelined for the first three games of the regular season due to a suspension, and Justin Jefferson's status is up in the air as a result of a hamstring injury.

The Vikings may target a reunion with Adam Thielen as injuries and suspensions leave their wide receiver depth in question.
