Vikings Acquire a Tight End from the Jets

The Vikings have reportedly acquired tight end Chris Herndon from the New York Jets in exchange for a 2022 4th round draft pick.  The Vikings also get a 6th round in 2022 from the Jets.  The Vikings will play at least one week without starting tight end Irv Smith Jr. due to meniscus surgery.  Smith could miss a few weeks but timetable could also be several months.
