Justin Jefferson has now added fuel to the fire that he wants a trade out of the Minnesota Vikings, and his number one destination would be a crazy LSU reunion with his old teammates Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase.
While there have already been rumors and reports that came out about a possible LSU reunion for the Cincinnati Bengals, now there is real fuel to the fire that came from Jefferson’s own mouth.
Justin Jefferson Is Jealous Of Ja’Marr Chase
Jefferson was on a podcast with superstar Kevin Hart, where Hart asked the elite receiver if he is jealous of his fellow former LSU teammates in Cincinnati. Jefferson was candid about his jealousy of their connection and the fact that they get to do it in college and the NFL, and he hinted at his desire to join them!
Jefferson shared his love for his former teammates and was open about the fact that he would love to be a part of that.
“I love them together, I love the chemistry that they have, but it’s definitely some jealousy on that side.”
While it would cost a tremendous amount of compensation from the Bengals, it also appears that they are letting all of their other receivers go very soon. Both Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins are probably both leaving the team either this season or next and the team will need another option at receiver.
Ja’Marr and Burrow would love nothing more than that, as Chase has already been vocal about trying to recruit Jefferson to the team.

Justin Jefferson To The Cincinnati Bengals Could Be Real
While this is long shot, both the team and Jefferson would be very interested in making that happen. Chase was the one who sparked all this craziness.
On Tuesday Chase shared a cryptic tweet that had many fans believing that the team may be interested in pairing the LSU all time receivers with their LSU quarterback Joe Burrow. Now, a former star Bengals player is saying that this trade may be for real.
After Chase sparked this rumor, former Bengals tight end Tyler Eifert tweeted,
“Sources telling me Jefferson to Cincy is in motion.”
This tweet, like Chase’s, has been going viral. It sparked the Cincy Jungle writing an article that read, “Former Bengals star Tyler Eifert jokes that Vikings All-Pro Justin Jefferson is headed to Cincinnati.” This had everyone thinking it must just be a joke. However, in crazy fashion, Eifert replied to the post of the article and made it explicitly known he wasn’t joking.
