Silver And Black Pride on Jalen Nailor
From the article
signed former Minnesota Vikings receiver Jalen Nailor to a three-year, $35.03 million contract with $18 million guaranteed... 'every time Jalen got opportunities, he showed what he could do... I think that's really exciting, because it allows the player to really fulfill his potential.'
STACKED’s take
Nailor's $35M deal offers value given his upside in expanded role with Cousins.
Nailor signed a three-year, $35.03 million contract with $18 million guaranteed as an underrated free-agent addition. Though he caught only 29 passes on 49 targets for 444 yards and four touchdowns in 2025 with Minnesota, the ratio of big plays to catches suggests future upside, especially given J.J. McCarthy's impact on overall Vikings receiver productivity. Kirk Cousins, who played with Nailor in Minnesota in 2022-2023, expressed enthusiasm about his potential in a larger role: "every time Jalen got opportunities, he showed what he could do... I think that's really exciting, because it allows the player to really fulfill his potential." The source identifies him as underrated and notes an open lane for production behind Tucker.
