Ross Homan - cut
Brinkly - injured
Larry Dean - presumably makes the team
Farwell - cut
Onatolu - presumably makes the team

So were cutting Heath and our depth at LB is now Onatolu, Dean and maybe Herron? That's piss poor imo, and Onatolu is the only proven special teamer of the bunch. We must be gearing up to pick up someone who doesn't make another teams 53.

Speculating that we might bring in some guys from the outside, we where around the cap number so we now have some room to work with, with Farwell, Dugan and such gone..

#Vikings cuts released. Caleb King, Ryan Cook, Chris DeGeare, Thomas Welch, David Herron, Cord Parks (injured). Wow on degeare.

Linebacker Larry Dean and tight end Allen Reisner both make the final roster after being undrafted free agents. They were huge long shots.

Chris DeGeare managed to go from having a chance to start at right guard to being cut by the Vikings.

Bigger wow on Cook imo..

We must be in the market, the way our roster is shaped is pretty weird.. lets see what happens..

Again as i wrote before, seems like we are getting rid of some vets and freeing up some money..

kind of a big suprise that Degeare got cut, but some of the other make some sense i see some coming andgoing still happening through out tomorrow

5 Safeties, 6 CBs and 5 LBs on the team now. Either we still have some turnover to make or our special teams is going to be very fast.

And 4 TEs and no FB, maybe Sauce really is gonna go back to FB. Has Reisner played FB at all? Bueller?

I hate you. Why would you tease me like that with Ryan Cook? Also mad about the Farwell cut. That's such an awful move. Pretty bitter about Jaymar Johnson as well.

Well you can rest easy now. Marty's war pig Ryan Cook gets cut after all.

Vikings turn to youth by cutting Ryan Cook, Jeff Dugan, Chris DeGeare and Heath Farwell
