It's unknown at this time what will go back to the Cardinals in return, but Somers is reporting that draft picks are involved.
Jefferson, a three-year veteran who was undrafted out of Fresno State in 2010, opened last season as a starting cornerback for the Cardinals, but was demoted to part-time duty after faltering.
Jefferson figures to compete for time opposite Chris Cook on the outside for the Vikings. Other players in the mix include Josh Robinson and Brandon Burton.
