The Minnesota Vikings<\/a> will be an interesting watch in 2026, mainly due to who will be the starting quarterback.<\/p>\n

Either Kyler Murray or J.J. McCarthy will be Kevin O’Connell’s leader, and whoever it is has Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison as the top two targets.<\/p>\n

But could the Vikings add another?<\/p>\n

CBS Sports’ Garrett Podell has named the Vikings as an ideal landing spot for Stefon Diggs.<\/p>\n

\u201cKevin O’Connell wasn’t the coach in Minnesota when Diggs departed to the Buffalo Bills<\/a> via a 2020 trade request, and he needs to get Minnesota back to the playoffs in 2026 after a disastrous 2025 with J.J. McCarthy at quarterback,\u201d Podell wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cProviding Kyler Murray with three high-caliber wideouts would certainly be helpful toward that cause. Plus, Diggs wouldn’t have to work as hard to get open as he ages playing alongside Jefferson and company.\u201d<\/p>\n

More:\u00a0Packers named as landing spot for Super Bowl champion<\/a><\/p>\n

Is a Diggs reunion possible?<\/p>\n

It could be, but Stefon will likely be the third receiver with Jefferson and Addison taking the defense’s attention.<\/p>\n

Having Diggs as the third receiver would give whoever is in at quarterback a genuine three-headed monster. After all, it’s not like Diggs’ 2025 season was poor. He still posted over 1,000 yards.<\/p>\n

What O’Connell could do with Diggs in an offense that already has Jefferson and Addison is an interesting thought.<\/p>\n

I’m not sure how viable it is, but Diggs back in Minnesota would be something.<\/p>\n
