Contract talks between Rudolph and Minnesota have reportedly collapsed, increasing the chances that he is traded. The Vikings, like Rudolph, would probably prefer resolution on that as quickly as possible ahead of the new season.

Rudolph has spent his entire eight-year career with Minnesota. Last season, he caught 64 passes for 634 yards and four touchdowns.
