Releases
8 March, 2:33 PM Central - The Vikings have chosen to cut ties with wide receiver Mike Wallace. He and his $11.5 million cap hit are now off the books. Wallace will hit the free agent market.
Restructured Contracts
7 March, 12:44 PM Central - Put this in the "mildly disappointing" category, at least as far as I can see.
