'It's all basketball': LaMelo says no rift with Bam

The Minnesota Vikings are considering cornerback options ahead of the NFL Draft, potentially looking at veteran free agents like Trevon Diggs. With the draft approaching, they may either find a suitable player at pick 18 or explore free agency for a budget-friendly signing.
The Minnesota Vikings need help at cornerback and they have been mocked to getting it by draft analysts ahead of next week's NFL Draft. However, the cornerback class could either allow for someone to fall to them at 18, or they will be forced to wait for a value in Round 2.
But what if they took the free agency route and got a veteran at a value the way they did with Stephon Gilmore in 2024?
Bleacher Report's Alex Kay wrote up several key veteran free agents at various positions and their projected contract value. One of the players mentioned was former Dallas Cowboys All-Pro turned Green Bay Packer, Trevon Diggs. He is not quite playing at the level he did, but he is still just 27 years old and has plenty of gas left in the tank.
Kay writes, "Diggs is now seeking a chance to revitalize a career that was once so promising. He has little leverage on his side after flaming out in Dallas, however, and will likely need to settle for a budget 'prove-it' style contract this offseason. If Diggs can stay healthy and get close to the peak form he displayed during his first three NFL seasons, the 27-year-old could go down as one of the better value signings in recent history."
The contract projected by Kay is for one-year and $7.5 million, which is a good value for a potential starting cornerback. Of course, the team could still draft a more long-term solution so they could go that way if the team sees someone there at 18, but even if they do the Diggs signing would be a fun addition to the room.

The Vikings are looking at cornerbacks in the upcoming NFL Draft, with the possibility of selecting one at pick 18 or waiting for a value in Round 2.
Trevon Diggs, a former All-Pro, is seeking a chance to revitalize his career and may be available for a budget contract, making him an appealing option for the Vikings.
Trevon Diggs, now 27, has struggled recently after his time with the Cowboys but still has potential to return to form if he stays healthy.
