No surprised here. Wright is odd man out at WR. Hams makes the team. Beavers makes the cut.

I'm not sure about Wright being out but I agree with his point about the TEs that's gonna be a tough call.

I guess I'll take his word about Beavers being the final oline guy. I have no idea.

Interesting that Wright, Jones Lamur guys that would save money by cutting them are all gone. :)

It will be interesting to see what they do with Heinicke. He hasn't shown himself worthy of using a roster spot imo and I'm a fan.

We just added a CB in Brock from Seahawks. I don't know anything about him, but he just took someones spot on team.

This is a good pickup, and more evidence that Zimmer doesnt like Alexander...Brock will immediately start as the nickel. He started every game last year for the Niners, but they let him go after he was charged with domestic assault. The Seahawks picked him up, and we traded a 7th round pick for him. Somewhat of a risk because of off field behavior, but fills a need.

Good read on final roster.

http://www.1500espn.com/vikings-2/2017/09/position-position-vikings-53-man-roster-shaped/

Aviante Collins making the team was a shock. I thought he would be on the practice squad.
Boone being cut was shocking, but not as surprising.
Kevin Carter was solid all preseason. Vikings didn't keep 4 TE's. I figured they would make room for him.

I saw something that Dolphins are interested in Brothers. Will he be traded?
Is the Brock trade the last move at DB? I don't think we trust Kearse and need depth at S and CB.

TJ Ward anyone?
