Vikings cut 5 players
S Ahmad Dixon
RB Henry Josey
TE Ryan Otten
T Antonio Richardson
G Austin Wentworth
No real surprises hear. I'm a little disappointed to see Tiny get cut. Thought he could at least be a decent backup, but I did see it coming with the way the draft played out.

Looks like I was little late. Sucks to hear about Richardsons knees being so bad. Will only be a matter of time till he's physically unable to play.
Re: 2015 Offseason - Free Agent/Draft Tracker
That's too bad about Tiny, I think he had a good shot at a roster position otherwise.

That is a bummer for Tiny, and I'm also bummed for Henry Josey. He probably never stood a chance, but I've always really like him.

I think I am the only one that thought Wentworth showed a little progress. Sucks about Richardson too.

Re: 2015 Offseason - Free Agent/Draft Tracker
Of the guys we waived recently I thought Wentworth was by far the most surprising. Richardson was always 50-50 based on his sketchy knees. Wentworth played in 7 games last year so one would think he would have at least secured a spot on the 90 man roster going into camp (or was that an indication of just how poor our OL depth was last year?).PurpleKoolaid wrote:I think I am the only one that thought Wentworth showed a little progress.

This might have something to do with his release:
I have been looking for some more info on this but haven't found any.The Vikings shifted Austin Wentworth from waived Non-football illness to Reserve Non-football illness
He could have just been a casualty of the numbers game as well. We have plenty of bodies on the OL going into camp:
Locks (5):
Sullivan, Kalil, Loadholt, Fusco and Berger
Near Locks (2):
Yankey and Clemmings
Bubble Guys: (4)
Mike Harris, Carter Bykowski and our two lower round draft choices, Tyrus Thompson and Auistin Shepard
Camp Fodder (4):
This year's UDFAs: Jesse Somsel, Bobby Vardaro, Zac Kern and Tom Farniok
Wildcard (1) : Babatunde Aiyegbusi
We'll likely carry 8-9 OL on the 53 man roster. 9 guys competing for one or two spots.

@mattvensel The #Vikings waived Kain Colter and Jesse Somsel. No word on who will replace them. They had a bunch of tryout guys in for rookie minicamp.

@GoesslingESPN #Vikings announce they've signed former #Gophers receiver Isaac Fruechte, who tried out with them last weekend.

Re: 2015 Offseason - Free Agent/Draft Tracker
Kind of a bummer. I like Kain as a football player/athlete. I hope somewhere along the road he gets a shot somewhere where he has a chance to sneak in to some playing time.dead_poet wrote:

Wentworth's career is also over after just one season.
That's rough. Best of luck to both him and Tiny.
http://blogs.twincities.com/vikings/201 ... gs-season/Guard Austin Wentworth, who was waived by the Vikings last week and then put on the team’s reserve/non-football illness list, must end his football career after one NFL season because of a medical condition, sources told the Pioneer Press.
The nature of the condition was not disclosed. It is something a source said unexpectedly came up but something that Wentworth, 25, should be able to overcome and be “OK long term.’’
That's rough. Best of luck to both him and Tiny.
