The Minnesota Vikings are 0-3, but Justin Jefferson says there are far too many games remaining to begin drawing conclusions about the fate of the team's season.

The wide receiver said he is tired of hearing about how their start could impact plans for 2024 and whether some players will or should be traded to stockpile draft picks.

"At the end of the day it's not going to be perfect every time," Jefferson said. "There's things that you've got to go through throughout the season to really tell if you're going to be a great team or not. We're handling adversity early in the season with the turnovers and being 0-3, but there is a whole bunch of more games to go.

"I'm tired of people saying that we're looking into next season or all of the trades and stuff like that. We're focused still on this season. We have a lot more games to go and we have a lot more things to accomplish this season. We're still focused in, and we still have the same goal as we had before the season. We just need to fix a few things and I feel like we'll be back on track."

Jefferson's 458 receiving yards is an NFL record for the first three weeks of a season.

The Minnesota Vikings have acquired Cam Akers in a trade with the Los Angeles Rams.

In exchange for the running back, the teams will swap 2026 draft picks, with the Vikings also getting a conditional seventh-round pick and the Rams getting a conditional sixth-rounder.

The Vikings have an NFL-low 69 rushing yards this season.

The Los Angeles Rams are looking to trade Cam Akers after making the running back inactive for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers, according to a report.

A former second-round pick, Akers helped the Rams win the Super Bowl during his second season after recovering from an Achilles injury.

He rushed for a career-high 786 yards and seven touchdowns last year despite asking for a trade during the first half of the season.

Akers rushed for 29 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries in Week 1.

Mike Evans and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have reached an impasse in talks on a new contract.

Evans will enter "what likely will be his final season" with the team that drafted him in 2014, according to a report.

The wide receiver is believed to be targeting a deal similar to the one Cooper Kupp received from the Los Angeles Rams. Kupp signed a three-year, $80.1 million deal in 2022.

Evans currently is playing under a contract that pays an average amount of $16.5 million.

He has a cap number of $23.698 million for 2023, and the Buccaneers will take a dead-money charge of $12.198 million in 2024.
