Minnesota traded Stefon Diggs to the Bills this offseason, and while the team has attempted to fix the wide receiver position through the draft and free agency, ESPN thinks it could use more help.
Taylor Gabriel, a former Bears wide receiver who is currently a free agent, seems like a good fit, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
Fowler said this about Taylor and the Vikings:
“Minnesota could use an infusion of speed, and Taylor could bolster Minnesota’s reverse and screen games. I like Green Bay here, but the Packers have been allergic to the receiver position this offseason.”
The free agent wide receiver had 353 receiving yards and four touchdowns in nine games played for Chicago in 2019. Gabriel also earned a player grade of 62 out of 100 for 2019 on Pro Football Focus.
Overall, I think Gabriel would be a fine depth player for Minnesota if the team can get him for cheap, but not someone who the team should make priority No. 1 in free agency.
