The Minnesota Vikings have begun cutting ties with several players ahead of Tuesday’s roster limit deadline. Quarterback Brett Rypien and Outside Linebacker Cam Gill had their contracts terminated. Nine other players, including rookies Keenan Garber and Silas Bolden, were waived. The move comes as the NFL’s 53-player roster size limit approaches quickly.
The Vikings will now need to finalize their full team roster by August 26 at 3 p.m. Central time, along with 31 other NFL teams. This deadline marks an important milestone in the preseason, and the Vikings’ front office is making significant changes to shape their roster for the upcoming season.
