Minnesota Vikings 90-Man Roster

The Minnesota Vikings return to the field today for their Mandatory Minicamp. It's always good to be familiar with the team's roster. Even when there's 90 players on it. Despite most talking heads and many fans having him on the roster of another team, tight end Kyle Rudolph will be on the Vikings roster this season, next season, and maybe even the 2023. He agreed to a four-year contract extension last night. Many in the media wasted a decent chunk of the offseason writing and talking about the end of Rudolph's football career in Minnesota. It's further proof that the media should be reporting the news rather than trying to create it. Anyway, this isn't supposed to be about the tiresome media. It's about Kyle Rudolph and his 89 teammates. They take the field today for the last three practices of the their offseason. After this week, the Vikings players won't be on the field together until training camp in late July.

It's being reported that the Vikings will be bring in at least two punters to try out for a shot to compete with incumbent Matt Wile at training camp. The two punters named are Justin Vogel and Shane Tripucka. A third punter may be involved in the tryout. If one of the punters is signed to compete with Wile there will be a tweak to the following 90-man roster. An NFL roster is always a fluid thing. Especially when it numbers 90.
