Some question marks still surround the Vikings’ roster construction heading into the 2024 football season. While training camp may answer some of those questions, it probably won’t answer all of them. One of those question marks is around the Minnesota receiving corps.
After allowing KJ Osborn to walk during free agency, the Vikings didn’t do much to add talent to the room. Minnesota did add Trent Sherfield, but he hasn’t been very productive in the NFL. The Vikings re-signed Brandon Powell, who did a good job when asked in 2023, but is he a No. 3 for the entire year?
The Athletic’s Alec Lewis brought up an interesting name. 32-year-old veteran Robert Woods. Now, Woods is still a member of the Houston Texans, but there is a chance he will be cut in the coming weeks. If Houston would waive the former USC standout, is there a scenario Woods would make a good option for the Vikings?
Woods, a former Buffalo Bills draft pick, was most productive with the Los Angeles Rams from 2017 to 2021. He caught over 1,000 yards in back-to-back years and was a staple of the offense.
There is a question of whether Woods has anything left in the tank though. He hasn’t caught for more than 556 yards in the past three seasons. But if he came to the Vikings, he wouldn’t be asked to do much with Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and TJ Hockenson on the roster.
