Minnesota Vikings Roster Cuts Tracker 2018: News, rumors, instant analysis

We are a little more than 24 hours away from the deadline for the Minnesota Vikings (and 31 teams that don’t matter quite as much) need to trim their rosters from 90 players down to 53 before the start of the regular season. The deadline is 3:00 PM Central on Saturday, 1 September. With one of the most talented rosters in the National Football League, it’s definitely going to be interesting to see how everything shakes out for the purple.

We will be keeping track of all of the roster cuts right here for you so that we can see the development of the roster. Keep in mind, the Vikings have a couple of players that will be suspended for the first four games of the season and won’t count against the 53-man roster, but otherwise there are a lot of players that are going to be pretty anxious over the next few days.

Here is the full 90-man roster as it stands right now. As players get cut, we’ll be crossing them off the list. We’ll also be doing quick stories on the players that get cut as well for your reading pleasure.
