The Minnesota Vikings could use some help at the wide out spot after the team moved Stefon Diggs to the Buffalo Bills earlier this offseason.
With the draft just over a week away, rumors will be hot and heavy, and one this morning involved the Vikings and reports of a chat with the Cleveland Browns over receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who would fit the Vikings like a glove.
The rumor about Odell to the Vikings comes from midday New York radio host Marc Malusis. He is a co-host of the show “Moose and Maggie” 10a to 2p on WFAN 660.
Here’s the tweet that he posted on Wednesday:
So, as I reported this morning on @MandMWFAN, Source has told me that the Browns and Vikings are in discussions on a trade that would send @obj to the Vikings for a 2nd and 5th round pick next year. Trade is not done, but the deal is being discussed.

How truthful the rumor is no one really knows (except maybe the Browns and Vikings), and it has seemed like a lot of Beckham/trade rumors have come out of New York, where Odell once played.
Stay tuned as the Vikings could very much use a receiver, and it would be interesting if Minnesota would give up that much of a bounty for Beckham’s services.
