Laquon Treadwell has already been fighting an uphill battle with Minnesota Vikings fans with nearly being a non-factor in his two seasons with the team after being a first round pick in 2016, but he may have just crossed the line with a cryptic tweet.

Hours after news dropped that the team had released Jarius Wright, the young wide receiver took to social media to post a message that can be interpreted any number of ways given recent events with the Vikings.

"Snakes don’t (hide) in grass these days, they wear suits," Treadwell posted.

Suits, in this case, meaning front office people that surely include ownership and general manager Rick Spielman.

So far, it has been an offseason of controversial decisions in the Viking front office with Wright's release being the latest in a line of tough calls, but such is life in the NFL and sometimes choices have to be made in the name of business.

The team also elected to let all three of their free agent quarterbacks walk so they could make a run at Kirk Cousins despite guys like Teddy Bridgewater and Case Keenum being beloved by teammates. This could also be what it is in reference to.

Treadwell himself may be feeling the heat with the Vikings' leadership saying at the NFL Combine that he needed to start staying out of his own way in terms of his development and how hard he has been on himself.

Since becoming the 23rd overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, Treadwell has largely been a non-factor in Minnesota. He had only a single reception in his rookie season and 20 catches this past year. He is still searching for his first career touchdown.

With Wright now on his way out of town, the No. 3 wide receiver job is up for grabs. Treadwell has a chance to grab that job, but not if he is taking shots at the front office.
