Vikings 53-man roster prediction 2.0

As the Minnesota Vikings enter the third phase of organized team activities, @TheKevinFielder has his first 53-man roster prediction.

From 90 to 53.

That’s the roster cutdown that NFL teams face between now (OTAs) and the end of the pre-season, where they have to finalize their active roster for the start of the regular season.

For any general manager and journalist masquerading as an armchair GM, trimming 37 players from a roster is daunting.

For the Minnesota Vikings, that task is even more challenging. The Vikings have 91 players on their roster due to the addition of Junior Aho through the NFL’s International Player Pathway Program. While they can be at 91 players now, they’ll still have to cut their roster down to 53 before the beginning of the 2023 season.

Here is our second projection of the Vikings’ 53-man roster before the start of next season.
