If Justin Jefferson were to depart this franchise, he would be considered an all-time great for the Minnesota Vikings and be looked at as a hero.
It's admirable on his part that he hasn't voiced any frustrations at all over the last season and a half, given how horrific the offense has been. Now that Kirk Cousins is back in town, things should get better, but one ESPN analyst believes it's too little, too late.

While appearing on ESPN's First Take, Stephen A. Smith voiced his belief that Jefferson should seek a trade out of Minnesota:
Cousins will come in and immediately raise the floor of this offense, but questions remain about how high the ceiling is for this team. If Cousins can bring this offense up to league average, Minnesota will be viewed as a Super Bowl favorite. If things fizzle out, we could very easily see a scenario where Jefferson says he's had enough and wants out of Minnesota.
