      Because he wanted a lot of money, and the Vikings pretended like they weren’t going to give it to him.

          Who knows if it’s true, but there was a rumor that the Vikings wanted to trade up to draft a WR. Could have been a lead up to a trade of him… But it’s speculation. But that is the answer to your question.

            That rumor was thoroughly put to bed by reporters on the inside pretty much the moment it started to spread. Could’ve been a tactic by his agent pushing for more money or another team that wanted him. The trade-ups the team attempted were for Drake Maye (failed) and then for Turner (success).
