Former Vikings Star Earns Another Opportunity
The Tennessee Titans agreed to a one-year deal with former Minnesota wide receiver K.J. Osborn, sources confirmed on X. The report came from Adam Schefter and marks another stop in Osborn’s NFL journey.
Osborn’s move to Tennessee
The signing removes one option from Minnesota’s offseason receiver list. Osborn played four seasons with the Vikings before entering free agency.
Fans remember him for steady production and timely catches. The Titans now add his veteran presence to their receiving corps.
Career highlights with Minnesota
Osborn recorded 158 receptions in Minnesota. He totaled 1,845 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns over four seasons.
The Vikings chose him in the fifth round of the 2020 draft. He arrived after college stops at Buffalo and Miami.
Recent team stops and roster notes
Reporting from Josh Alper traced Osborn’s recent circuit through multiple clubs. He spent time on the Falcons’ practice squad and did not appear in a regular-season game for Atlanta.
He also had brief stints elsewhere. Alper noted one game with Washington in 2024, plus seven catches for 57 yards across seven games with New England.
According to the same reporting, Washington later claimed him on waivers but he did not make their roster out of training camp.
Impact on Minnesota’s receiver plans
Minnesota enters the offseason with an open WR3 spot after Jalen Nailor’s departure. Names linked to the vacancy include second-year wideouts and potential veteran signings.
Speculation has included Tai Felton, as well as veteran free agents. The team could also address the role via the draft.
What Osborn’s exit means
- One experienced option is now off the board for the Vikings.
- The club will need to evaluate internal candidates and outside targets.
- Draft capital and free-agent moves remain possible ways to fill the role.
