"Now 28 years old, Osborn entered the NFL as a fifth-round pick of the Vikings in 2020. After going without a reception in nine games as a rookie, Osborn emerged as a weapon in the Vikings' Kirk Cousins-led aerial attack from 2021-23. Osborn averaged 53 catches, 615 catches, and five touchdowns per season during that three-year run. He missed just one game and amassed 30 starts along the way."
"He left the Vikings for the Patriots' one-year, $4MM offer in free agency in March 2024. Osborn wasn't a fit in New England, though, as he caught just seven passes for 57 yards in seven games with the team. With his numbers down significantly, Osborn told the Patriots he wanted a trade before last year's deadline in November. They didn't find a taker, but the Patriots and Osborn agreed to a mutual parting of ways a month later."
The Falcons worked out veteran wide receiver K.J. Osborn but no signing has occurred and his status with the team is unclear. Osborn, 28, was a fifth-round pick by the Vikings in 2020 and produced from 2021–23, averaging 53 catches, 615 catches, and five touchdowns per season while starting 30 games. He signed a one-year, $4MM deal with the Patriots in March 2024 but caught seven passes for 57 yards in seven games and requested a trade. The Patriots and Osborn parted ways, the Commanders claimed him and later released him during final cuts, leaving him unsigned since August.
