One of the more confounding parts of Minnesota’s offseason is that they haven’t retained Duke Shelley. Or, at least, not yet. The young corner is still a free agent, capable of signing with any team in the NFL.
Brought to Minnesota after being cut by Chicago, Shelley had to scrape and claw just to get into the gameday lineup. From there, he received on-field opportunity largely due to injuries to Cameron Dantzler, Andrew Booth Jr., and Akayleb Evans. Once among the starters, though, Shelley fought to avoid going back to the bench. By the end of the year, he was successful.
