Vikings deny Justin Jefferson trade rumors, assess roster under new GM
Summary

The Minnesota Vikings addressed speculation around a potential trade of wide receiver Justin Jefferson during a recent media session. New general manager Nolan Teasley firmly stated the team is not rebuilding and aims to be competitive. Jefferson's significant cap hit makes any trade unlikely, contrary to rumors that suggested a deal with the Buffalo Bills. The Vikings are focusing on maintaining a strong roster after completing a rebuild two seasons ago and have a vision for collaboration within the organization as they look ahead to the upcoming season.
