The 2021 NFL Draft is officially in the books, and now comes the post-draft frenzy where all 32 NFL teams get into a mad rush to sign the guys that were not drafted over the course of the past few days but that they’d really like to have on their 90-man roster.
I want to make something clear about our UDFA tracker here. None of the UDFA signings can become official until tomorrow. What we’re doing here is collecting news and rumors from various sources. . .be they media members, coaches, or even the players themselves. . .to keep all of you up to date on who the team is going to be bringing in to fill out the rest of the spots on the roster. So, if it turns out that we were wrong on one or two of these. . .well, we were wrong. It happens.
Unless I’ve counted wrong, with their 11 draft picks in the fold the Vikings’ roster sits at 73 players. That means there are 17 spots on the 90-man roster that could potentially be filled. I’m guessing the Vikings will fill the majority of those spots over the weekend and leave a couple of spots open for potential tryout players.
So, we will try to keep this updated as much as possible. If you want to talk about the UDFA rumors and/or cheerlead for guys that you’d like to see the Minnesota Vikings sign, then feel free to do so right here. Updates will be below the horizontal line.
