The Appalachian State product was waived by the team, but then signed to the practice squad. The Cardinals then signed him off the Vikings’ practice squad, only to release him. After a brief stint with the Patriots, Gossett was signed to the Browns practice squad in 2019. He then worked his way up to the active roster. If Gossett finds success in the NFL, it likely won’t be with the Vikings at this point.
