Vikings roster cuts: News, rumors, who was cut by Minnesota as final 53-man rosters due for 2022 NFL season

After missing the playoffs for the last two seasons in a row, the Vikings decided Mike Zimmer wasn't getting the job done and opted to cut him loose almost immediately after the 2021 season was finished. They brought in Kevin O'Connell to take his place, hoping he could bring some of that magic that won the Rams a championship as he spent two seasons in Los Angeles as the offensive coordinator.

Kirk Cousins returns as the starting quarterback after he and the Vikings agreed to a one-year extension guaranteed for $35 million. He'll have plenty of options to throw to with the likes of Adam Thielen and rising star Justin Jefferson leading the receiving corps. Dalvin Cook returns as the first choice in the backfield.

Minnesota finished last season with a record of 8-9, but DraftKings Sportsbook has their over/under win total set to nine this year. They'll look to beat that and return to the playoffs, especially with a fresh perspective with O'Connell at the helm.

Here, we'll keep track of roster cuts for the Vikings and what it means for the betting and fantasy football landscape ahead of the 2022 NFL season.
