Pierre Garcon – WR

He will be turning 33-years-old in August, but Pierre Garcon may still have another productive season left in him. With Garcon’s experience and familiarity with the new offensive scheme that the Vikings are installing, he would be an upgrade over everyone they currently have fighting for the third receiver spot on their roster.

During the last two years, he was a member of the San Francisco 49ers and he hauled in a total of 64 passes for 786 yards and one touchdown. After each season was cut short due to injury though, the 49ers opted to not pick up Garcon’s contact option for 2019 and he became a free agent.

One current member of Minnesota’s roster who is very familiar with the wide receiver is quarterback Kirk Cousins. Both spent time together with the Washington Redskins and Garcon emerged as one of Cousins’ most reliable targets.

Now with the Vikings, would the quarterback be interested in reuniting with his former Redskins teammate?
