Conklin positioned himself well in free agency with a leap to 61 catches for 539 yards and three touchdowns in his fourth and final season with the Vikings.
But head coach Mike Zimmer and general manager Rick Spielman — both of whom were invested in Conklin’s development from a fifth-round pick — were fired in January.
It might have been a miscalculation by the Vikings, who started block-first Johnny Mundt over Smith early in the season and then responded to Smith’s potentially season-ending injury by making a splashy deal with the Lions for T.J. Hockenson just before the trade deadline.. Conklin and Vikings right tackle Brian O’Neill already have plans to exchange jerseys after the game. But Conklin won’t have many insider tips because the Minnesota defensive scheme — a Cover 2 or Cover 4 shell designed to take away big plays — is “completely different” than what he practiced against.
