Vikings cut TE Kyle Rudolph

Rudolph was slated to earn a $7.65 million base salary this season and count $9.45 million against the Vikings’ salary cap. He still had three more seasons left on the four-year, $36 million contract extension he signed before the 2019 season, but the Vikings will save $5 million in cap space by cutting him.
Last year the 31-year-old Rudolph missed four games and saw his production decline to 28 catches for 334 yards.
Now Rudolph, who has been with the Vikings since they selected him in the second round of the 2011 NFL draft, will hit free agency and see if some team wants to pay a veteran tight end who wants to prove he still has something left.

The 36-year-old Walker has struggled to stay healthy in recent years, playing just seven games in 2019 and one game in 2018, so it may be a tough sell for other teams to believe he’ll be able to get healthy and stay healthy.
But Walker was a Pro Bowler for three straight years from 2015 to 2017, so there’s likely some team willing to give him a shot and see if he can earn a roster spot.
