Jalen Reagor - WR

Jalen Reagor was brought in last year to provide a spark to the Vikings' passing game but more to be a dynamic punt returner. He failed miserably in both roles.

As a returner, Reagor was scraping the bottom of the barrel league-wide with his lowly 6.4 yards per return. He was a disaster as a receiver, rarely seeing a target and running the wrong routes when he was thrust into duty, creating costly turnovers for the offense.

Reagor should be cut. The Vikings have better options on the roster this year. Jalen Nailor has looked promising during the OTAs, and the team signed Brandon Powell, who can handle the return duties. They also have intriguing young options in Trishton Jackson, Blake Proehl, and Thayer Thomas.

While Reagor has busted everywhere he's been, the team still could choose to keep him. They did give up a couple of mid-round picks to acquire him and may be unwilling to admit the mistake just a year after the deal was consummated to bring him to Minnesota.

Hopefully, Kwesi and the coaching staff aren't too full of pride to admit they were wrong and will keep the five or six pass catchers who truly deserve to be on the roster and not one who makes it because of when he was drafted or what was given up to acquire him.
