TO UPDATE: To make room for Reagor in the 53-man roster, the Vikings made another surprising move by forgoing WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette.
For the past two years, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor has been known as “the guy who got drafted before Justin Jefferson.” Now he becomes Jefferson’s teammate.
Trade: Eagles send WR Jalen Reagor to the Minnesota Vikings in exchange for a 2023 7th round pick and a 2024 conditional 4th round pick that would de-escalate to a 5th round pick if certain stats failed achieved, sources tell ESPN.

Adam Schefter reports that the Minnesota Vikings are acquiring Reagor from the Eagles for a seventh-round pick in 2023 and a conditional fourth-round pick in 2024 that would de-escalate to a fifth-rounder if certain metrics are not met.
Reagor was selected by the Eagles with the 21st pick overall in the 2020 NFL Draft, a pick before the Vikings took over Jefferson. In his two years with the Eagles, he caught 64 passes for 695 yards and three points.
It appears that Reagor will be used as a #5 or #6 wide receiver for the Vikings. Perhaps just as importantly, Reagor has some experience returning punts, which he did 31 times for the Eagles last year. As a rookie in 2020, he also had a 73-yard punt return.
Once again, the Minnesota Vikings traded WR Jalen Reagor from the Philadelphia Eagles. You must make an appropriate roster move to put it on the 53-man roster.
