NFL insider Ian Rapoport joined Mike Golic Jr. and Mike Golic Sr. on Monday’s edition of GoJo and Golic to discuss all the news coming out on last weekend’s Draft, including the future for some of the league’s top wide receivers.
Senior wanted to know the latest on what’s going on in San Francisco’s wide receiver room. Last week, 49ers GM John Lynch said the team was having good talks with Brandon Aiyuk with the goal to make him a 49er for the rest of his career. Meanwhile, friend of the show Dianna Russini spoke with Deebo Samuel, who said he knows what’s going on with the 49ers and he’s “good staying with them. I’m chilling.” So what does Ian see happening in San Fran? Rap says the market may have shifted in the 49ers’ favor.

“My sense now is Deebo probably stays. I think with Aiyuk, I think they’d like to get a deal done. There’s always angst before a deal happens, there’s always frustration. It’s never quite what you want.” @RapSheet pic.twitter.com/Fv6G6wZUFR
GoJo pivots to the Vikings and their star receiver, Justin Jefferson. The wide out lost his signal caller this offseason, as Kirk Cousins signed with the Falcons before Atlanta went and added another QB in Michael Penix. To replace Cousins, the Vikings selected JJ McCarthy in last week’s draft to mixed reviews.

“JJ McCarthy comes off the board for the Vikings, a team who let Kirk Cousins walk out the door this offseason, only to bring a quarterback whose comp for most people was Kirk Cousins.” @mikegolicjr@GoJoandGolic https://t.co/rue18nimOC pic.twitter.com/utDXtrdgZt
So with that in mind, what does Jefferson’s future in Minnesota look like? Ian thinks the Vikings are going to get something done, but the cost is going to be A LOT.

“Highest paid non-quarterback is probably something he’s shooting for … It’s always going to be a bargain because he’s so good … You only make these super contracts work if you have a rookie QB on a… pic.twitter.com/C2dXG43ndT
