VIKINGS CUT DOWN ROSTER TO START THE 2023 SEASON

We’ve come all the way back to start another season of wonder and worry with the Minnesota Vikings. it seems like just yesterday we were marveling at the team’s ability to make epic and historic comebacks even though their defense was abysmal at times. The playoff loss to the Giants at home still stings as the comeback they couldn’t muster. With that came an off-season that saw many fan favorites go to other teams in salary cap moves. Eric Kendricks, Dalvin Cook, and hometown hero Adam Thielen are all gone to different teams along with their cap hits that the team could no longer support. While Kirk Cousins, Justin Jefferson, Danielle Hunter, and Harrison Smith are all still here there are a bevy of new names to learn before the first game against Tampa Bay on September 10th. You can check out the final roster here although there has been more action today with players being released all over the NFL so, don’t be surprised if this changes over the next few days. Thanks to Vikings Territory for this list.

I spoke with Dustin Baker (@DustBaker) about the releases and what the team will look like this year and some of the surprise releases. Needless to say that I was surprised some of them made it back to the practice squad this afternoon.
