After drawing interest from a number of suitors, Rondale Moore has chosen his next team. The Vikings announced that they’ve agreed to terms with the free agent wide receiver.
Moore’s free agency tour kicked off in Minnesota last week. The wideout later took meetings with the Bears, Jets, and the Titans, with that latter visit taking place today. Ultimately, Moore decided to head to the Vikings to resume his NFL career.
The former second-round pick suffered a season-ending injury during Falcons training camp last year. Despite the extended absence, Moore clearly didn’t lack for suitors, and he’ll ultimately beat higher-profile names like Stefon Diggs, Amari Cooper, Keenan Allen and Tyler Lockett to the transaction log.
Moore established himself as a versatile offensive option during his time in Arizona. He averaged 45 receptions per season between 2021 and 2023, and he also garnered 52 total carries (for 249 yards) over that span. He even got an extended look as a returner during his rookie campaign, so the veteran could fill a number of holes for his new squad.
The Vikings are set to return their top three wide receivers in 2025, with Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and Jalen Nailor leading the depth chart. There’s room for reps behind that trio, and considering Moore had the entire 2024 campaign to recover, he should be ready to compete for a WR spot.
Off season grade, A+++! SKOL!
Not enough reps for everybody.
Nailor is next out the door.
Either released or traded for draft pick.
Considering his drop rate last year Nailor being gone is not a big surprise.
Between Jefferson, Addison & TJ, when will Rondale see a target?
Great pickup by Minnesota. Moore adds another dimension to their offense.
Fun!
I would rather have seen Lockett than Moore.
Lockett is a slower version of Nailor. Moore fits a mold of underneath gadget player to complement our current weapons.
Very astute signing. Healthy and in that system with all those weapons, Moore could fit in well.
