On this The Real Forno Show - The Minnesota Vikings are currently working on getting under the salary cap with about $15 million more to go. One of the players that have been discussed as a cut is edge rusher Za’Darius Smith.
In what looks to be a sign that he is likely to be released, Smith tweeted out a thank you to Skol Nation and the entire Minnesota Vikings organization at 3:37 central time on Thursday afternoon.

This would come as no surprise, as Smith’s effectiveness in the second half of the year was minimized significantly due to a knee injury. Moving on from Smith was always a distinct possibility due to the nature of his contract and the style of defense that Brian Flores is implementing. Moving on from Smith would save the Vikings $12,156,861 in cap space according to Over The Cap.
Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Smith has officially requested to be released, but the team has “no intention to do so.”
