At this time he's only worth a throw in to a trade of other players.He's slow.
Please, he couldn’t beat out Jarius Wright.He’s had lots of things holding him back and hasn’t really gotten a shot. He’s a great late round draft stash, IMO. He’s almost a year younger than Anthony Miller, think about that for a second.
If Treadwell can play the way he did against the Jaguars in joint practices Wednesday and Thursday, he could put up some numbers Saturday. He had a pair of nifty catches going across the middle and an impressive grab on the sideline.
I won’t beat the drum for treadwell but he was pretty young entering the league. If you liked him then I would think you have to let him develop.Please, he couldn’t beat out Jarius Wright.
Very good point. He is a buy for dynasty given his price and that he is only 23. Even though his combine was really disappointing, he still was an impact player in college football at 18. It's possible he could become a decent bye week fill-in with potential for more if Diggs or Thielen get hurt.I won’t beat the drum for treadwell but he was pretty young entering the league.

We caught a glimpse of what Laquon Treadwell can be in the Vikings' offense at the end of practice today. He beat his man off the line in a red zone drill, went up and hauled in a high throw from Kirk Cousins. Textbook example of what John DeFilippo wants in the red zone.
No. He’s brutal.Definitely not high on Treadwell at this point, but he's made strides every year and his lack of PT/production is less damning when you consider that the two guys dominating the target shares (Diggs and Thielen) are both very good. Treadwell reminds me of some of those mid 90s WRs like Keyshawn Johnson. Limited mobility, but big frame. I think on a new team he could be a serviceable #2 WR.
averaging 4 targets, 3 catches and 25 yds per game, with no tds. and its his 3rd season. :(Will be out of the league within 24 months.
Still holding him in the 3 leagues I drafted him from 1.04 to 1.06averaging 4 targets, 3 catches and 25 yds per game, with no tds. and its his 3rd season. :(
i have thielan and space to burn on my roster so im adding him for kicks.
Was never really rosterable. Well maybe as a flyer in his first year.Droppable
Hard to feel bad for the guy. Even if he never plays another game:
I'll say it again with the new OC...This is what makes me shake my head. I felt this is the reason they drafted him, yet they haven't even given him a jump ball shot in the red zone. Not saying he is good or bad but I thought that was the skill set they were looking for and haven't even tried it.![]()
The Vikings are expected to decline WR Laquon Treadwell's fifth-year team option for 2020.
Spoiler alert. The No. 23 overall pick of the 2016 draft has just 56 grabs in three seasons. 2018 was his "most productive" campaign — 35/302/1 — but he averaged a pathetic 8.6 yards per grab. We would not even consider Treadwell a lock to make the 2019 53-man roster.

Vikings declined WR Laquon Treadwell's fifth-year team option for 2020.
Treadwell's option, which would have paid him $10.2 million, was never going to get picked up. His $2.5 million dead money hit is the only thing saving his roster spot.

Man you really nailed him here.There's one thing in particular that just makes me question Treadwell and those are the plays where he looks backwards as if he doesn't know what to do next. Just really sticks out when I've watched him. He looks lost on some plays, or just doesn't seem involved at all. Not quite sure how to take it yet as I do like him, it's just sticking out like a sore thumb in my mind that I can't let go of.
Kenneth Dixon, 1.05I took him at 1.02, and it stung for years.
I should have known Laquon was trouble when he went through combine drills with a backwards hat, then stood on stage on draft day with his 5 year old lol
It’s been a runThis thread is interesting and sobering to read as we head into dynasty draft season.
And yet my first couple of posts about him were that I was on board. And you keep reading what I said about Treadwell and it slowly gets worse and worse haha. I find that funny, you might not but that's fine. Thanks for the laugh.Man you really nailed him here.
It really mirrors the whole Treadwell experience.And yet my first couple of posts about him were that I was on board. And you keep reading what I said about Treadwell and it slowly gets worse and worse haha. I find that funny, you might not but that's fine. Thanks for the laugh.
ESPN's Courtney Cronin reports Laquon Treadwell is in danger of getting cut.
This wouldn't come as a surprise after Minnesota declined Treadwell's fifth-year option. Chad Beebe and Jordan Taylor outplayed Treadwell at OTAs and should open training camp ahead of him. The Vikings would take a $2.5 million dead money hit and save just $655K to release Treadwell.

Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reports the Vikings have made Laquon Treadwell available for trade.
Same. The Vikings are hoping to find a team willing to part ways with a Day 3 pick now that Chad Beebe has emerged as a viable No. 3 receiver behind Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen. Treadwell is in danger of being cut if the Vikings can't get a team to bite on the former first-round pick. Treadwell has one career touchdown.

Vikings waived WR Laquon Treadwell.
Per NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, the Vikes are still trying to trade the 2016 first-rounder, but this move has been a long-time coming. A possession/YAC-type receiver coming out of Ole Miss, Treadwell couldn't get on the field as a rookie and was scarcely more successful as a second- or third-year pro. 35 of his 56 career receptions came last season, though he averaged a truly pitiful 8.6 yards in the process. Those are the numbers of a blocking tight end. Although he's still only 24, Treadwell is not going to be an attractive "second chance" prospect on the open market.

I initially thought you were joking, but I don’t think you are.Ridiculous that nobody would give up a late pick for Treadwell. He’s good enough to be on the field on a lot of teams.
Uh...Ridiculous that nobody would give up a late pick for Treadwell. He’s good enough to be on the field on a lot of teams.
I'm not. He's a top 100 WR. I don't think that's all that controversial. I will be surprised if he isn't picked up soon.I initially thought you were joking, but I don’t think you are.
You could add the disclaimer “under the age of 25” and you’d still be wrong.I'm not. He's a top 100 WR. I don't think that's all that controversial.
Top 100? No!!!!!!I'm not. He's a top 100 WR. I don't think that's all that controversial. I will be surprised if he isn't picked up soon.
I actually had to look twice at the date stamp of this post. Totally laughable.I'm not. He's a top 100 WR. I don't think that's all that controversial. I will be surprised if he isn't picked up soon.
