Jalen Nailor's stunning contract shows why Vikings bowed out fast After four seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, WR Jalen Nailor has reportedly agreed to a lucrative contract with the Las Vegas Raiders.

1 DAY AGO • THEVIKINGAGE.COM

Gets three-year deal with Raiders Nailor agreed to terms Monday on a three-year, $35 million contract with Las Vegas on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Nailor suited up for all 17 regular-season games with the Vikings in 2024 and 2025, totaling a combined 57-858-10 receiving line (95 targets) in that span. The 2022 sixth-round pick now lands in one of the few wide receiver corps in the league where he projects as a potential starter rather than a complementary option, joining Tre Tucker, Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton. Of course, tight end Brock Bowers (knee) is solidified as the No. 1 pass-catching option for the Raiders, but Nailor looks set to handle a significant role for Las Vegas' future quarterback, with the slated to release Geno Smith and presumably select a rookie signal-caller at No. 1 overall in April's draft.

Vikings receiver Jordan Addison faces misdemeanor trespassing charge after arrest in Florida

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison faces a misdemeanor trespassing charge following his arrest in Florida

Takes another step forward Nailor caught 29 of 53 targets for 444 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games with Minnesota in 2025. He also handled two carries for 13 yards.

Impact Nailor played a slightly larger role in the Vikings' offense in the final year of his rookie contract after having a small breakout in 2024. He posted similar numbers, however, due to a dip in efficiency. That decline was probably mostly a product of general dysfunction in a Vikings passing offense that went from sixth in the league in yards in 2024 to 29th in 2025. He'll become a free agent this offseason, and he has further demonstrated that he can at least be a credible deep threat even if he's not a very physically-imposing one.

Held catchless on Christmas Day Nailor did not catch his only target in Thursday's 23-10 win over Detroit.

Impact Minnesota went with a run-heavy approach on offense, and QB Max Brosmer threw for only 51 yards, so Nailor's goose egg wasn't entirely of his doing. In fact, the only Vikings wideout who caught a pass in the contest was Justin Jefferson, who put up a 4-30-0 receiving line. With that said, Nailor has now gone without a reception in two straight games, so he's a very unreliable fantasy target. That figures to remain the case regardless of whether Brosmer of J.J. McCarthy (hand) is Minnesota's starting QB in the season finale next Sunday versus Green Bay.

DECEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Held catchless in Week 16 Nailor failed to secure either of his two targets in Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Giants.

Impact Nailor was a complete non-factor Sunday despite playing 62 percent of the Vikings' offensive snaps as the team's No. 3 wide receiver. Minnesota's offense has struggled with J.J. McCarthy (hand) at quarterback, but with McCarthy suffering an injury in Week 16, Max Brosmer is set to start in Week 17. Nailor should continue to be the victim of both limited opportunities and underwhelming quarterback play, capping his potential going forward. The 26-year-old should be ignored for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 17 matchup against the Lions.

Cleared for Sunday Nailor (back) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact He figures to fill his usual role as the No. 3 receiver, coming off a two-TD showing at Dallas in Week 16. Nailor returned to full practice participation Friday after limited sessions earlier in the week.

Stays limited in practice Nailor (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Coming off a two-touchdown performance in this past Sunday's 34-26 win over the Cowboys, Nailor has been slowed by a back injury during Week 16 prep. He's now been a limited practice participant for two straight days, but so long as he can upgrade to full activity Friday, he'll likely approach Sunday's matchup with the Giants without an injury designation.

DECEMBER 18, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Tending to back injury Nailor was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a back injury.

Impact Nailor has settled into a regular role in the Vikings offense this season and even is coming of the first multi-touchdown performance of his career this past Sunday at Dallas. However, he's now dealing with a health concern in the wake of that contest, giving him two chances to get back to ful this week before the Vikings potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game at the Giants.
