K.J. Osborn's next team after Commanders' release is crystal clear

"The Washington Commanders had a surplus at the wide receiver position entering the cut-down deadline. Adam Peters had some difficult decisions to make, and some prominent veterans were disposed of by the ruthless general manager despite their best efforts over the summer. One of those parting ways with the franchise is K.J. Osborn. The veteran came into the Commanders off the waiver wire late last season after a serious internal injury to Noah Brown that required kidney surgery."

"It was a crowded room, and Osborn didn't do enough to cement his claims. The fact that he was playing late into Washington's preseason finale against the Baltimore Ravens meant the writing was on the wall, and the former fifth-round pick out of Miami will now begin searching for alternative employment. K.J. Osborn could land back with the Vikings after Commanders cut ties"

"And there is one obvious destination that makes almost too much sense. The Minnesota Vikings are reportedly seeking wide receiver reinforcements in the trade market. They are being heavily linked with a move for Adam Thielen, but the Carolina Panthers are driving a hard bargain. If nothing can be agreed upon, the NFC North club could bring Osborn back to familiar surroundings. Osborn was drafted by the Vikings and gradually emerged as a dependable No. 3 option. He accumulated 1,845 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns during his three seasons as a prominent member of the offensive rotation,"

The Washington Commanders released veteran wide receiver K.J. Osborn after a crowded receiver room and insufficient preseason production. Osborn had joined Washington late last season from the waiver wire following Noah Brown's kidney surgery and signed a one-year deal this offseason. He played into the preseason finale but failed to secure a roster spot and will look for new employment. The Minnesota Vikings are seeking receiver help and could bring Osborn back because of his familiarity with their staff and schemes. Osborn compiled 1,845 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns across three seasons as a No. 3 option with Minnesota.
