Today was deadline day for all 32 NFL teams to trim their rosters down to the 53-man limit. We saw a number of trades over the last few days, and a handful of surprising roster moves, both in terms of cuts and players who survived the cut. For the Minnesota Vikings, while they did not make any huge moves, they did keep three undrafted free agents:
- Jacob Thomas, Safety
- Brett Thorson, Punter
- Dillon Bell, Wide Receiver
Potentially the least surprising undrafted free agent to make an NFL roster this season is safety Jacob Thomas out of James Madison. Thomas has impressed in a big way during training camp and has stacked solid preseason performances. Thorson will be pushing for the starting punter job, and Bell should make a quality special-teamer and depth wide receiver for the Vikings this season.
