Roster moves
Last year at this time the Vikings made a couple of trades involving Jalen Reagor and Ross Blacklock. I suspect we'll make a couple of moves this year as well.
There are two spots in particular that make me nervous. RB and CB. At RB I think we're fine with Mattison and Chandler. But Kene is hurt and McBride just hasn't shown much IMO. Wouldn't surprise me to see the Vikings add an experienced RB for depth. I think we only keep 4 because we're likely going to want to keep 6 WRs.
The starting three CBs are set with Murphy, Evans and Blackmon. After that it gets a little dicey. Now, the 4th and 5th corners on most NFL teams are typically not great players, but Joejuan and Booth have been especially bad. Love to see the Vikings add some experience here.

It's a little interesting that Abraham Beauplan, Jaylin Williams, Benton Whitley and Theo Jackson are, unless I missed something, still hanging on. So far... Yeah for sure, how many left to cut in the next 45 minutes?

Here's one that might be of interest. 31, former 1st rounder. Could provide some experienced depth for a very young secondary.

After the AZ game, they wanted to make CERTAIN he was gone.

Just because he's paranoid doesn't mean we're not picking on him.

Braun nails it....
This might be the greatest roster prognostication in history, and only gets better as @ArifHasanNFL and I mock him for it. https://t.co/bDtHx0xqsV

Read the thread, it's not hard to figure it out who said it
Rumor is Vikings are interested in this guy if he clears waivers:

I'm kind of curious as to how often we'll plan on going big nickel. It seems like we're much more set at safety than corner.

Can always count on you to pipe up with some dumb shit and you never disappoint Maroon. Just go back to schmoozing us all on how great the 2022 draft class was. That's working out real well for ya

This is a much different list of cuts so disregard my CBS cut list.
So it looks like we are keeping 4 TE's? Oliver, Hock, Mundt and Muse.
Hoping we can sneak of couple keepers onto PS
@"medaille" said: I'm kind of curious as to how often we'll plan on going big nickel. It seems like we're much more set at safety than corner.Agree. I think we'll see big nickel a lot, given the downhill styles of safeties like Harry and Cine. While I like our top two corners, there's little doubt our 3rd and 4th safeties are better than our 3rd and 4th corners.

Just don't forget it was ME who said that, Supafriend. So a year or two from now when various internet twatwaffles say "Jiminy Crickets! Nobody could've foreseen..." you'll be there to correct them. "Well..." you'll say with crushing shame and diffidence, "one guy did." Skol Bruvva.
current roster is up on vikings.com. 6 safeties. This d is gonna play more physical foe sure.
