But apparently, Minnesota is looking into potential solutions. Tom Pelissero of NFL media has reported that the Vikings are "seriously exploring" a wide receiver trade and are specifically looking for veteran receivers.

The Vikings trading defensive tackle Harrison Phillips to the Jets for a sixth-round pick and a late-round swap on Wednesday came as a pretty major surprise. Phillips had started every single game over the past three seasons and was one of the leaders of the defense as a team captain.

The final preseason of the game has the Vikings on the road as they travel to the Music City to face off against the Tennessee Titans and the top pick in April's NFL Draft, Cam Ward.

The Vikings, 49ers and Jets all have good reason to be giving the Green Bay Packers a call about this talented wide receiver.

Phillips was a team captain and a leader of the Vikings' defense, so this move qualifies as quite the surprise.

In the NFL, offense is king; it sells tickets, and it is what most fans come in to the stadium or turn the TV on to watch perform on the field. Of course, defense has its place too, but in recent years, the NFL has become an arms race of sorts for teams as they look to have deeper arsenals of weapons to perform each other out.

NFL Media Insider Tom Pelissero reports that the Minnesota Vikings trade defensive tackle Harrison Phillips to the New York Jets in a deal involving draft picks on "The Insiders".

The Minnesota Vikings are looking to add a veteran wide receiver for quarterback J.J. McCarthy while the team adjusts to Jordan Addison's suspension.

The Vikings may be in the market for a few players, such as a wide receiver depth. According to CBS Sports' John Breech, there are a couple of veteran wide receivers who could be available to help the Vikings as they look for some help in a banged-up wide receiver room.
