The 2023 NFL Draft is officially in the books, but the excitement of the weekend isn’t over yet. No, now it’s time to move on to the post-draft signing frenzy known as undrafted free agency.

Basically, any player that was draft eligible and did not hear their name called over the past three days can now sign with any team that has the desire to sign them. Teams can’t make these signings official until tomorrow at the earliest, but here is where we’ll be tracking all the reports, conjecture, rumors and innuendo surrounding the UDFA process.

As fans of the Minnesota Vikings, we definitely know the value of undrafted free agency. We’ve seen quite a few players rise through the ranks with the Minnesota Vikings via that route. . .players such as Adam Thielen, Marcus Sherels, and Hall of Famer John Randle. None of them were drafted, yet all went on to star with the purple.

We’ll keep this post updated as best we can as more new rumors come along. If you see or hear anything that we don’t have, drop it in the comments and we’ll get to it. The updates will be put up above the primary post here.

Enjoy the post-draft signing extravaganza, folks! And thank you to all of you that made our coverage of the 2023 NFL Draft a part of your football weekend.
